X - 'Live At The Whiskey A Go-Go' (Elektra) December 22, 2004
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
'Live At...' was recorded while the band was out on tour in 1988,with additional guitarist Tony Gilkyson.So,now X was a five piece.No complaint here.Total of 21 songs performed in 72 minutes of up-beat all American home grown old-school punk.Very good choice.Recently,I got to see all four original members reunite for a decent length tour.Which was:Exene Cervenka-vocals,D.J.Bonebrake-drums,John Doe-bass and Billy Zoom-guitar.These 'new wave' era punksters STILL put on a great live performance.They did many of the tracks on this live CD,like "Los Angeles","Burning House Of Love","My Goodness","Devil Doll","Hungry Wolf","Riding With Mary"(my favorite X song),"White Girl" and "Johnny Hit".A nice find.
Ultimate Live Recording January 28, 2001
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a virtual "best-of" album and the best surprise is the quality of the live recording is equal to any studio album X put out. You would not know the album was live except for the audience clapping and the exchange between the band. No weak songs were put on this album. One reviewer below lambasted X for putting Skin Deep Town on the album. It is the weakest point on the album, as it features the band criticizing shallow youth engaging in brain-dead orgies in Ft. Lauderdale on Spring Break. Honestly, though, X were always political and critical of intellectualy lazy people. The song is no surprise, but it doesn't rock well like the other 20 songs. The album is exceptional and the playing of the band is at the top of their form. Punk, Rock, and Western all mixed together to make a delicious stew. Buy this and feel you were at the venue in the flesh.
The best live album I've experienced November 20, 2001

Even if you don't like live albums (like myself) this is one live record you should not pass up. As other reviewers have mentioned it plays like a greatest hits plus it includes two previously unreleased gems, "Skin Deep Town, "So Long" and a super rocking version of the Knitters "Call of the Wreckin' Ball". "Around My Heart" sounds so much better live I honestly experienced it all over again almost as a brand new song. In addition the recording quality is incredible. The power, the energy, and the talent of X comes across beautifully (yes even w/o Zoom). This record Rocks!
If you can only take one X Cd to an island- December 9, 2002

Take this one....Please! If you like rock and roll, punk, alt... any or all of these etc....this is the one I'd take out of my whole collection. If you want the concert experience while sorting laundry, mopping the floor, or breaking up with your lover-BUY THIS ONE!~Thanks to all the members of X for being the greatest!

Okay, I am forever in love with my friend who introduced me to X, because oh my god I don't know how I lived without them. I had the incredible fortune to see them two months ago in S.F., and it was definitely one of the best shows I'd ever been to. Despite the decline in quality that occured in their albums in the nineties with the loss of Billy Zoom, now that they're all back together performing they have this incredible power reminiscent of "the good old days". While their stage prescence can't be entirely recorded into audio, this album comes really damn close.
So... I recommend: Get this album (assuming of course you already have Los Angeles and Wild Gift... those are the prerequisites), and as soon as you get a chance GO SEE THEM! and send my love.
