(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm a newcomer to Praying Mantis music, but I must say that I love this live recording. It captures an energetic band, with amazing performances from well-known names in Heavy Metal: we have Dennis Stratton and Clive Burr, from Iron Maiden and Gary Barden, of Michael Schenker Group fame, along with the founders of PM, the Troy brothers.

In a particular good form we find Gary Barden, whose rough voice and unique style contrast beautifully with the clean and well sung backing vocals provided by Stratton and the Troys. But that's not all: the whole instrumental sector is pretty tight and provides us a very enjoyable classic rock.

I strongly recommend this album (although it would be better if it was the 2-CD version, unavailable nowadays) for all those who like Iron Maiden, Uriah Heep, MSG and UFO rock style."
