Customer Reviews:

Great Setlist & Great Sound.......2007-05-09

I mostly listen to live music and these guys definitely perform it well

Stray Cats Strut.......2006-03-04

This album blew me away. I hadn't heard any Stray Cats for some time, but I sure remember the exitment this New York trio generates when they play live. This live double album was recorded in 2004 at London's Brixton Academy and is somewhat a comeback/reunion effort after 25 years in the business with a hiatus in between. This trio is just awesome, the unbelievable guitar playing of Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker's impeccable timing and the ultimate stand up man on bass Slim Jim Phantom make this comeback album a testament to their choice of musical genre I.e 'rockabilly'. These guys were born to play live and I for one will make it a personal quest to see them play one more time. I would like to sum up with some hip or eloquent phrase but really there is no need, the proof is in the pudding.

Back Together.......2006-01-21

The Stray Cats got back together to tour for their 25th Anniversary and Thank God they did.
This album is full of great music and hot guitar licks from the very first song to the very last.
The Highlights are, Rumble in Brixton, which sets the pace.
Their classic, Stray Cat Strut is another great entry.
Sleepwalk is my personal favorite, with some of the hottest guitar licks you will ever hear.
Over the course of the album he does several early Elvis songs including, My Baby Left Me, That's Alright Mama, Good Rockin Tonight.
You also hear his classic, Rock this town, Sexy and 17, and the Eddie Cochoran classic, 20 Flight Rock.
Fishnet Stockings and Runaway Boys also appear on this CD.
Brian Setzer has become the Jimi Hendrix of Rockabilly.
Setzer has established himself as one of the finest guitarists on the planet. It is really nice to hear Rockabilly with a guitar player of this magnitude, treating us to sizzling hot licks.......If you dont buy this you are missing out.

Man, am I glad they did this!.......2005-02-26

Did it really take this long to get a new release from the Stray Cats? Man it is great to here them together again. I hope this starts them back to doing the Stray Cats thing more often because I miss them when they are not playing together. They sound just as good on this as they did when they started, in fact I think they are even better with age. The selection of songs is outstanding, and the quality is excellent. Now, when are we ever going to get a box set with the complete recordings of one of the greatest bands of all time?

A Rockin' Good Time Glorious Evening! .......2004-12-26

I have been waiting for this since the night it was recorded - I havent been disappointed. It arrived on Wednesday and I haven't listened to anything else since then.

Stray Cats were truly glorious that night - from the opening shots of "Rumble In Brighton" (with the obvious but still too good an oppurtunity to be missed final chorus of "Rumble In Brixton") thru a few well selected covers & a number of Stray Cat's originals - Its just a MUST have.

If you compare the songs here to the original recordings (Brighton, Radio, Strut, Rock This Town, Runaway Boys etc etc) the sound on the night - and subsequently this disc - is really raw and ballsy.

I personally was never potty on "Something's Wrong With My Radio" - but on the night I thought it was fantastic, and listening again to this CD hasnt done a thing to change my mind.

"Please Dont Touch" (probably most famous for the version by Motorhead & Girlschool) was another standout point. But the standout points are everywhere. Couple of other great Covers "Good Rocking Tonight" - "20 Flight Rock" are well worth a mention.

The playing is exceptional - guitar bass & drums only, and yet at times they were making more racket than Iron Maiden (and thats remotely intended as an insult to either band). Lee Rocker was better than ever, Slim Jim standing on the Bass and pounding at the snare as if his life depended on it (yet still cooler than ice) & Mr Setzer, well!

This disc also contains a solitary single new recording which is great, but there's no doubt you are just tempted to go back and randomly select any of the live tracks). Its a double disc, without the 1 studio it would have fit onto a single disc.

It was a brilliant night - and this double disc captures it perfectly. No Stray Cats fan will be disappointed.
