Sacred Reich deliver the goods on this live effort, with a career spanning track listing, energetic performance and a great sound. The live album, recorded before the group disbanded sounds awesome, with a really chunky guitar sound and a good mix altogether. Vocalist Phil Rind can really perform live, and doesn't fall short live like some other singers. Highlights include a storming rendition of 'Who's To Blame,' a surprisingly bouncy version of 'Independent,' as well as all the classics like 'Surf Nicaragua,' and 'Death Squad.' The Crowd are mix low enough to still be heard but not ruin the sound, and the whole sound gives off a really good concert vibe, it seems like it would've been amazing to have been there like all the best live albums do. The concert mixes in a few numbers from the band's underrated final album 'Heal,' and the songs sound amazing and are welcome next to the classic material. Good grooves, melodic solos, chunky riffs and a solid production. What more could you ask for ? If you like Sacred Reich you really owe it to yourself to buy this, if you're new to the band this is a great place to start.
