Billy Squier: a good shot of LIVE

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a really good, solid live album, guaranteed to warm the heart of any Billy Squier fan. It's undoubtedly a recording from the "Emotions In Motion" tour, with plenty of gems from "Don't Say No" and "Emotions In Motion". The set list for this performance also includes some of his early rarities, like "Rich Kid", "Young Girls", and "You Should Be My Love". Excellent!



I actually prefer this particular live recording to Billy's King Biscuit Flower Hour concert cd. If it stands up to a King Biscuit Flower Hour recording, then you know we're talking about quality.



If you're a fan of live albums and of Billy Squier you can't go wrong with this cd...



Quick note: Don't be misled by the "Extended Versions" label. The "Extended Versions" label is an extensive series of affordable LIVE recordings, NOT remixes or extended versions. If you know that, you're all set. If not, you're going to get a shock...



Lastly: Billy Squier's first solo album, the long out of print "TALE OF THE TAPE" (yes, there was an album before "Don't Say No") has been re-issued on cd at last on the BGO label!! BGO has packaged "Tale of the Tape" & "Don't Say No" together on one cd. Nicely done. Even better considering that up until now used "Tale of the Tape" cds have been ultra rare and commanding prices of up to $100 on ebay. Thank you BGO! Now if only the Piper (Billy's old band before he went solo) albums would be released on cd too..."
