A sensation

"I've been a PE fan since 1987/8, loved all their records, kept up with them right through. I'm not into the recent rap stuff but PE's intelligent lyrics and great music I always loved. That's the disclaimer in case I'm too positive.



Given that this is a recording from 16 years down the track, I'm thoroughly astounded. It's a selection of the best stuff from them over the years, some of the later stuff, but a great selection. But what is so stunning about the recording is the way they did it. It's with a live band - they re-arranged the whole set, and did it really well in a funk/hard rock style.



The recording is fantastic (recorded in Melbourne, Australia in 2003), good enough to make one think it was almost a studio recording, but it's just such a brilliant fresh take on some great songs from a great band.



A must for anyone into PE and an embarassment for a lot of the Rap/Rock bands - it's just brilliant."

Huge disappointment

"I'm a huge fun of P.E. I've been listing to them for years but I'm not really digging this live album, the live band it's actually killing all the classics I miss the old P.E. live shows, I'm not digging the P.E. Band. If you are a true fan get it like I did but if you're checking P.E. for the first time, stay away from this record."
