Great expectations; But not fulfilled.

"The Tygers of Pan Tang were the best band to come out of the British wave of metal in the early 80's. Their 1st 2 albums were good, but when they got John Sykes on lead guitar they took off. He only stayed for 2 albums, and Tygers kind of faded away. But when I heard of this live release from the John Sykes(Thin Lizzy,Whitesnake and Blue Murder)era, I got excited. But...when I listened to it I was disappointed. John's guitars are way to low in the mix, and the lead singer sounds pretty bad. But this is the only Tygers live cd with Sykes, so it is well worth it."

"Made in USA in 2001, Serial# 5107-2, Playing Time 58:31Recorded back in April 1981, this well recorded concert features the band during the "Spellbound" tour. Becoming a quintet with the recent addition of John Sykes, and the replacement of flat-voiced Jess Cox with Jon Deverill, TOPT's popularity sky-rocketed in the days of the NWOBHM.The band performs songs from their first 2 albums ("Wild Cat" and "Spellbound") and the disc is full of energy. Deverill sounds a bit out of breath, and the renditions are not quite as "tight" as the studio versions.Still, this release explodes with enthusiasm, and marks an interesting document in this line-up's too short career."

"If you liked the first three Tygers albums, then you have to buy this. This "album" or another one like it would have been the perfect release before their next studio album the "Cage" which in my opinion was weak and didn't live up to the first three releases. Maybe the band would have survived the MTV New Wave onslaught which permeated radio listening choices after 1982. The potential was there but it never fully manifested itself. This is a very good LIVE collection of Tyger tunes. The quality is not UFO's "Strangers in the Night" but definitely good with a few flaws. Overall the songs to my ear were well mixed and there is a nice selection of Tyger classics. The notes inside the cd mention the band was ill during this recording. I wish other bands I have seen play this well when sick. Jon Deverill's vocals are powerful. Almost overpowering on the songs from the Wild Cat album, but nonetheless pure Tygers. Weir and Sykes play extremely well together. Once in awhile you hear the Sykes flair and flash but if you are a Tygers Of Pan Tang fan you appreciate the music from the band, not individual members. In the early 80's I really thought the Tygers of Pan Tang would be the next British/European Super Group behind Priest, Maiden and the Scorpions. I was wrong but they are still one of my favorite groups and fortunately these songs have been made available to fans like myself and others."
