"This is a great NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) band that came out in the late 70's and laid the groundwork for bands like Metallica and Megadeth. In fact, Metallica cites such bands as Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamondhead, and Motorhead as major influences on their early music. This CD has great guitar playing by John Sykes (who went on to play in Whitesnake and Blue Murder) and Robb Weir. Both guitar players are fantastic. The singer Jon Deverill is very good and has a great voice for this type of hard rock music. Overall, the quality of the CD is excellent for a live recording. It's up there in quality with Ozzy Osbourne's Tribute and Iced Earth's Alive In Athens. All of the songs were recorded on the first two Tygers albums, Wildcat and Spellbound. However, live, these songs are more raw and have a greater punch. This CD is the closest thing you can get to actually being there.Great band. Great songs. Great CD. Buy it."
