5 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE.......2005-01-02

This is the most incredible live album I have ever heard. Rescue me still gets me jumping up and down many years later. Skip the studio versions and get the passion that only comes out in the live album. TEN STARS.

5 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC LIVE ALBUM.......2004-06-17

Most bands will have a year of touring and recording in their careers where they will be at their peak! The Electric folklore came slap bang in the middle of the "Eye of the Huricane" album touring year. In was around then that musically the Alarm really started to gell! Twist, Dave, and Eddie really sound tight on this album, whilst Mike's voice has a fantastic grit like sound to it that only comes after hundreds of gigs and "many" bottles of beer and ciggys! Songs such as Strengh and Knife Edge sound raw and loose, whilst Rain in the Summertime is driven by grinding bass and Dave's Sharps slick guitars! A top album that really captures the eighties live sound! Order yourself a copy, infact f**k it, order two!

4 out of 5 stars A Blaze Of Glory.......2004-02-28

This album was recorded to support Eye Of The Hurricane, probably their most successful album. By 1986, The Alarm had a dedicated following despite that U2 was peaking with Rattle & Hum and The Joshua Tree. Many people considered The Alarm just a weak U2, which is a shame as this collection shows they were much more than that. They had the passion of Springsteen, the soul of Dire Straits, and yes, the electricity of U2. You'll find many of their hits here like Spirit Of 76, Rain In The Summertime, Rescue Me, and Blaze Of Glory. When the album first came out on vinyl, it had 6 songs. Now expanded to 14 tracks and clocking in at nearly a full 80 minutes, it includes other gems like One Step Closer To Home and Knife's Edge. The album does has a few flaws like the traditional Bound For Glory (This Train) and Newtown Jericho which is not one of their better songs. But this is a band that has always valued pride, honor, and simply great blues and rock and roll. If they were to go out in a Blaze Of Glory, this album is a testiment to a band that knew how to play live with intensity that few other bands ever matched.

    To be frank I still think The Alarm are a U2/Simple Minds/Springsteen rip-off band with very little originality. But when all is said and done this is the best live albums I have ever heard. If you can get a copy...BUY!

      5 out of 5 stars Quite An Upgrade!.......2002-01-27

      The Alarm have always been a great live band and this release catches them at their peak. This remastered release greatly improves upon the original by adding eight tracks recorded live in Chicago (Dec 1987), five of which had never been released before in any format. The original release of this disc (1988) was essentially an EP and is excellent in its own right, featuring six tracks recorded live in Boston (Apr 1987). This remaster pushes the total time to 77+ minutes and includes stomping live versions of "Knife Edge" and "Shelter", not too mention the previously available "Strength", "Blaze of Glory", and "Rescue Me".

      The songs from both shows are interspersed seemlessly on this disc and make for a coherent concert experience highlighted by Mike Peters' passionate vocals and Dave Sharp's searing guitar and are nicely augmented by Mark Taylor's keyboard playing. As is typical with this band, each song somehow seems more meaningful, more stirring, and more full of emotion in a live setting. And this disc captures 14 of them! Very Highly Recommended.

      5 out of 5 stars One of the best live bands ever..........2001-04-12

      ...and of course one of the best live CD's ever. This remastered version is well worth the price because it includes 8 unreleased tracks compared to the original six. Great music from a great band.
