CD Reviews

I am ready to testify!!!!

Timothy S. Woodward II | Princeton, WV | 08/02/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The MC5 are one of the most influential and underrated bands of the late 1960's. They only released three albums before they imploded in the early 1970's. This is a great re-release of some previously released bootlegs. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but these are bootleg recording from over 30 years ago. That does not take away from the passion that the band plays with, nor there skills as musicians. This is an excellent release for anyone interested in a band that has been an influence hard rock, heavy metal, and punk rock."

2.5 Kicks To The Head

Justin S. Lukenbill | 06/11/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This collection is a great buy. Not only is the packaging superb, but there are extensive liner notes and the official bullet-points of The White Panther party so you can understand the rights, people, and beliefs this band stood up for.

Included in this box set are two complete concerts and one EP (half concert?)that will kick your head straight into the next election year.

Side note: There have been complaints about these concerts being of poor sound quality...nothing a decent equalizer can't solve. In fact, let that be a musical life lesson to you.

"

Are you ready to testify!

"I first saw the MC5 at the Grande Ballroom back in 1969 and numerous times after and these recordingds are like sitting there in person. This is a true bootleg though, whoever did the recording was seated to one side of the stage and wasn't picking up Rob Tyner's microphone. The energy of their performance wasn't lost, and it was that energy that drew me to bands like the MC5, Stooges, Frost, Amboy Dukes, ect. Anyone who lived during this era will appreciate the memories these recordings will revive.. Enjoy!"
