This album is definitely recomended for established Audio Adrenaline fans who want a taste for the power and excitement of an Audio Adrenaline concert. For first timers, however, it would be wiser to buy a more established studio album, suchas Underdog or Bloom. The truth is that this album does not hold up against their studio work. Most of the time, it feels underproduced, which in a way, constitutes the "bootleg" feel of the album. It would have also been nice to see a few more songs from the first album on here (Only three were represented: "What You Need," and "My God" and "DC-10" which appear combined on "Medley"). Since the album came out after only two other Audio Adrenaline albums, all the other songs except one are from Don't Censor Me, which to be honest isn't the kind of album that screams "Play me live!". The last song, "Happy and You Know It," appears after an unnecessary delay. It's basically just an on stage rendition of the classic sunday-school song where frontman Mark Stuart tries to get the audience to clap their hands, bang their heads and stomp their feet all at once, making for an interesting listen. Maybe the album would have fared better if it was made later, but despite its flaws, the album is still a must buy for Audio Adrenaline fans, as well as anyone who just wants to enjoy the excitement of an Audio Adrenaline concert.
