The sound and the vid are a little out of sink in a few places. This live, no dubs. Russ can pull off his recorded vocals live anytime. Got a great voice. Toronto home crowds are notoriously lame.
I love the songs, but I am disturbed by the singer in that...a few times, he was in the process of bringing the mic to his mouth when the vocal started. You see, on the live stage, Dynamic mics are used. If the mic is a distance from your mouth, your voice SOUNDS distant. His voice sounded full-on while the mic looked to be 12 inches away from his mouth. This makes me suspicious! I REALLY hope I am wrong about this mic concern.
Man his vocals are right along with the rest of the band . My brothers band Lawless opened up for them on the big deal tour here in Portland Or.. I was a little to young to go along with my other two brothers to see them that sucked.
damn good band- whatever happened to talent ? hell, mtv sucked when rap cam along but we still had headbanger's ball now they don't even play vids. just all this gay is in & dr. drew crap.
I agree, with a 2 comments posted the hometown crowd does suck. And let the singer have the energy witch he does have, and the bassist and guitarist look like they love the music they write.
Saw these guys live in the 80's,and thought even then, that the guitarist and bass player just were'nt in to it! If they had shared the same enegy as the singer I think they would have made it big time!!
This is because, unlike most of the poser bands of the eighties, these boys play more than barre chords and roots. That is the Bass player actually plays a rhythm part not just root notes and the guitarist plays more than just barre chords. There is actual melody in the playing. No room to pose. Let the front man do his job. The band needs to play. These guys are as tight on stage as in the studio. Can't say that about a lot of bands.
keep that spirit alive is one of the most if not the most prolific songs of all time if one does not get this message they are just waiting in line to die thanks for the memories guys good karma right on!!!!!!!!
OOOOoooooo so much emotion and livelyness onstage! Woweeee, I can't control myslef...what, are they all sleeping? Oh,and the backup vocals!? H-O-L-Y H-E-L-L!!! HORRIBLE!!! Guiatrist...just flat out sucks. It is truly sad to see his killer voice be made to look like crap. I have to go gag now....
I think he's the only guy ever whose stage moves include doing a somersault on his head. He's been taking care of himself too, looking pretty good. Still sings good too.
Thank you!

The mysterious mic thingy?
Does anyone release a true LIVE recording? (i.e tape/record then MIX it later) Just a thought...
Long lost classic...
