FU MANCHU in the 97 minutes of this double album deliver their fuzzy-heavy-groovy-riff rock unstoppably in the way that only they can, and they do so remarkably well. The sound is top-notch, their volume is HUGE, their performance is super, and they really succeed in transferring their feeling-just-fine attitude in this live. Just listen to songs like �Ojo Rojo�, �Asphalt Rising�, �Hell on Wheels�, �Boogie Van�, �Anodizer� (with the drum solo) or their unbelievably heavy (heavier than Godzilla himself!) masterwork cover version of BLUE OYSTER CULT�s classic �Godzilla� and you will understand. Even the songs from �California Crossing�, which was more polished and digestible than their previous albums, are so much heavier, rawer, massive and closer to the classic FU MANCHU, which makes them many times better than the studio versions!

Concluding, this is a must for all stoner and heavy rock fans (FU MANCHU fans will buy it anyway) and an extremely good opportunity for those fans of heavy metal and heavy rock that are not familiar with the band to experience the phenomenon called FU MANCHU. Time will tell, but for me this live album is already up there with AC/DC�s �If You Want Blood�� and MOTORHEAD�s �No Sleep �till Hammersmith�.
