5.0 out of 5 stars Truly the Last of their Kind!!

In a perfect world The Darkness would be as big in the States as say, Aerosmith in the 80's and 90's. But the music industry being in the state it is today nobody really gets that kind of traction anymore. In spite of that...Thank God for The Darkness!! These guys have pumped out album after album of "Solid Gold" in since reuniting back in 2011/2012. This record kills. Dan did a killer job putting this together, the band is tight and Justin's voice is freaking bulletproof! Really enjoyed hearing him singing the tunes from Permission. Hard to explain but there's a slightly more mature tone to his voice that to me is actually preferable to some original recordings. Best example I can provide is on Stuck in a Rut, always kind of passed over the studio version but live it just slays!!

Anyway, this is a great live record from one of last great Rock and Roll bands. Buy this record, and everything else these guys put out, you will NOT be disappointed!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest HITS...LIVE 2 for 1!
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2018

So....yet another European band who's been hitting it out of the park with solid music. I will say the only gripe I have with this, is the music/recording seems flat. Either it's true, and not manufactured in the studio....or some thing was blocking microphones. The recording isn't as pronounced as many live recording are. In fact a lot of live music has over kill to the high end, where this seems very midrange. But oh well....the song selection hits a home run in my book. if you're a fan of live music, and The Darkness....and you don't have this....smack yerarse over to the AMZN or local record store and pick this up! I own both the CD and vinyl...don't copy me, unless you want to.... 2thumbs UP

Great album. If you're a fan or well-wisher, you won't be disappointed. For a second, I thought maybe they pulled a "Kiss Alive!" on us with the crowd noise....but then I realized I saw them in a considerably smaller venue (700-750 at a killer sold-out show I attended in Charlotte), so it should go without saying that it if it was at Hammersmith, then it was surely noisier on this particular evening :)

Beats listening to it on an iPhone. Albums live but yet so full and just oozes with constant wailing of raw energy and tasty licks. Played it all day, just overall slammin!!

Why else are you looking at it? Buy it. You know you want it. Maybe it isn't 'essential' but you love The Darkness and must own this.

The Darkness strikes a balance between awesomeness and transcendent, tongue-firmly-in-cheek hard rock of yesteryear like no other band out there...this is an excellent representation of their prowess on stage. So damn good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music - Great Fun

I first saw the Darkness when they supported Whitesnake at the Ipswich Odeon when they first started out. I took my son and by a considerable margin he preferred them over Whitesnake - probably because they were so much fun.

Since then they have of course very publically rose to the top and then spectacularly crashed. And now are probably at the level that reflects reality. A well supported mid range touring band.

And that's fine because they play venues that are big enough to allow a bit of a crowd and noise whilst not becoming some distant spec on the horizon. And this is why I still love to see the Darkness. They play to the audience and still have that huge sense of the ridiculous that turns a concert into a party.

And here we are an album that perfectly captures the essence of it all. They sound live - which may be a bit obvious but of course most 'live' albums are anything but. I suspect this is because they were on a budget and what was recorded was used - and its all the better for it. They really do sound pretty much as you hear them when you go to a concert.

Great range of songs from across their back catalogue with not a duffer on there. I'm not a huge fan of the Darkness but I appreciate the honesty of their music and the effort they put in. Most of all though, I've always enjoyed them live which is what its all about. Chances are if you like their music even in passing, you'll really love this album.

Overall I'd have to say this is a winner. Great music and a great live party.
