SMOKIN'.......2007-03-01

as a drummer myself I think Scott Travis is as solid a rock drummer as there is but I gotta tell you that the guitar playing on this CD absolutely smokes! These guys tear it up at every turn and don't miss a trick. You guitarists out there, get his CD, fasten your seat belts and crank this sucker up!

Breathtaking Guitar Playing!!!.......2006-07-14

Simply put this is the greatest "live" shred guitar album ever!!Everytime I get a friend who wants to show off on guitar I whip out with this album,usually nips it in the bud.Anyways this album showcases the fastest,most precise playing you will ever hear on a live album,or just about any studio album for that matter.Paul and Bruce are simply incredible musicians.Even after almost 20 years this album still floors me everytime I listen to it.I cant recomend it enough.!!!!Long Live Shred

A Shred Sensation.......2005-04-05

Perfect, i have never heard anything as beautiful as this. When I found this at a neighborhood yardsale i almost defecated my pants. Jeff Martin sings like an angel. 30 seconds into Paul Gilberts electric guitar solo and i was speechless. So Racers, if you're feeling dangerous, pop this cd in and let good times roll!

Would get 5 stars but..........2003-06-22

I've loved this band since I first discovered them back in the mid 80's. While "Extreme Volume I Live" shows the band in top form, the transfer to cd is not the best... good enough though. The playing is imaculate and all of the band's members went on to other things... Paul Gilbert of course went on to form Mr. Big and also have a successful solo career, Scott Travis went on the become Judas Priest's drummer, Jeff Martin became the drummer for Badlands, (Voodoo Highway and Dusk), and more recently the drummer w/ The Plot, (feat. Micheal Schenker-gtrs. and Pete Way- bass), John Alderete and Bruce Bouillet formed The Scream w/ John Corabi, (one time Motley Crue singer), and remain active in the music biz. Of course, all but Bruce continue to write, record, and perform as Racer X to this day. I recomend this to anyone who loves the over the top speed of light virtuosity of the late 80's and (very) early 90's when people really bothered to learn to play their instuments intstead of just using them as props. Vol. I features individual solos from each band member. This should really get 5 stars but the transfer cuts one star off... and it really isn't that bad... buy it and play it often... loud!!!

Trazan's Day Off..........2003-05-10

I spent a good portion of my time in High School in the early 90s just trying to figure out the solo to Gone Too Far. So much I destroyed my CD player going back and forth. If you havent heard a perfectly exectuted twin lead harmony, this is the one you MUST hear. Paul and Bruce pull the most amazing LIVE guitar work I have ever heard. This along with Live Extreme Volume II are truly works of art. Its better than WRONGWAY Malmsteen's live in Leningrad.
