Album Description

Their very first recording, captured live at Molly Malone's in 1997, documents the raw and raucous energy of the band's early days and is a must own for faithful fans. Includes three originals only found on this CD, early live versions of songs that are now fan faves, and the only recorded version of "Delilah" which was a staple of the group's live shows in the early years. Previously only available at shows and through limited distribution, "Alive" features all new artwork and has been re-mastered.

Brilliant for what it is.......2007-04-15

It's all in the sleeve notes people....
"And there was our answer..
Just set up,plug in,tune up & share what we gave each other-fun!
So to hell with the squeaky clean & the oh-so pretty.
Here are 10 raw and raucous songs,LIVE and dripping with the 'joie de vivre'. Part of an experience we all had something to do with.
This is album is for you,the bawdy and the beautiful that will forever keep us honest"
"Pruduced by: Absolutely no one!"

THIS is the definitive OLD-SCHOOL Flogging Molly experience.Raw,Rowdy,energetic,soaked in Guinness & Whiskey.But most importantly,it didnt sound great. In 1997,Flogging Moly were just a bar band,who probably had no sound engineer or knowledge of the way a structure of a building,such as a Pub,would affect resonance levels and sound quality on a recording!! The point is,it's not supposed to sound perfect and professional.It's raw,it's honest & It's real.
Yes,there are times when the fiddle screeches,the mandolin disappears,or the bass drum tips and taps instead of pounding(see intro of "Between A Man And A Woman"),but for the most part it does sound,in my opinion,quite good for what they were working with at the time.
I own both the original 1997 independent release & the 2006 SideOneDummy re-release,and I have to say the remastering and engineering work done on this version really improved the sound quality to the best possible level,and in my opinion,the sound quality on this re-release is far better than the band's own independent release. So go for this one instead of the 1997 26fRPM release(which I think is also on sale here)
I would really only recommend this to HARDCORE Flogging Molly fans only,who want to experience the early days of the Band's sound,muddy,muffled and wonderful as it is.
But for the newcomer,or someone looking for a definitive Live Album of Today's Flogging Molly, I would Highly recommend "Whiskey On A Sunday" instead of this.

GET THE VIBE.......2007-01-04

If you're the type of person who enjoys live recordings, you'll love this CD. This is as "live" as it gets. Is the sound quality good? It could be better. Does it matter? Hell, no. These guys (and one girl) kick so much energy into your face - it's like a raw rush of adrenaline set to music. Crank it up and let the maximum vibe blow you through the wall. This is what a great band is supposed to sound like. Also, this CD has a couple of great tunes that are not available on any other FM CD.

If only I had known..........2006-12-30

I bought this the other day at a local store the instant I saw it, thinking it was the full length-concert of the live music I'd heard on Flogging Molly's MySpace page. What I know now is that what I really wanted was "Whiskey on a Sunday." Unfortunately, there is no such thing as returning music in stores these days because they already assume I've pirated it and given it to others.

If I had known what this is (which is at least made clear here on Amazon - it certainly isn't on the packaging of the CD) I never would have purchased it. The audio quality is absolutely horrible. I mean bad, bad, bad. It seriously sounds like a bootleg recorded in a bar. Which is essentially what this is. This is not a professional recording of a Flogging Molly concert - it's a professionally published bootleg recording that sounds incredibly poor.

For the real Flogging Molly live experience, check out "Whiskey on a Sunday." After paying for this dud though, I certainly won't be paying for that one.

Extremely Bad Sound Quality.......2006-11-30

What could have been a good album will forever lay at the wayside of bad acoustics, now I understand that this is their first album, but someone should have told them that clubs and bars are not meant for recording. Now I would also like to relate this is the only negaitive quote I have ever said about Flogging, and will hopefully be the last.

World's Best Live Band (Re-released).......2006-07-25

This is the only live album (until tomorrow when whiskey on a sunday comes out) from the world's best live band. It is not very polished, which gives it a rough and raw sound. This is Flogging Molly's first album and features the band's original guitar player Tedd Hutt. It was recorded in a single night at Molly Malone's in L.A. (hence the title).

This album is a must for Flogging Molly fans. If you are not familiar with Flogging Molly though, you should probably start with one of their studio albums like Drunken Lullabies. Once you fall in love come, go to one of their live shows and then come back and get this album. The version of Swagger here is awesome (as is everything else), and the version of Black Friday Rule is still the same as the version they play at all of their shows.

A Great Live Performance...but sound quality is rough here.......2006-03-25

First off,I love this band (LIVE and on record). I wanted to complete my collection so I grabbed this live disc.
While the set list is smoking and the band was definitley "on" the disc has some real issues sound-quality wise.
It falls somewhere between a soundboard copy and a fan recorded bootleg.
But hey, its a "live" live record so grab it anyway, down some creamy pints of stout, crank the volume and decide for yourself...or just catch them live (now thats a real 5 star performance!)

It was ok..........2004-12-09

Ya know... it was pretty good. The only thing is that they recorded it in a bar so the sound isn't really top notch... however, it gives you a good feel for the true spirit of the band.

Awesome.......2004-10-16

If you are a Flogging Molly fan, YOU MUST OWN THIS! BUY IT NOW! You won't regret it. They are a great band and really cool people and this album lets you get a glimpse into how they interact with each other and their fans. "Delilah" & "Laura" alone are definately worth the cost of this cd. If you get the chance, SEE THEM LIVE!!!!

Alive behind plenty of booze.......2004-09-18

As far as live albums in general go, this is a good solid one. The sound isn't muddy, and everything seems to come over okay.

As for the band, this merely proves how much they really do rock. Playing at a small club in LA shows off their pure unadulterated intensity. You can hear the banter and there are a couple good different versions of songs that you'll love.

Great offering. A must have for FM fans.
