Recorded on his UK tour earlier this year these CD and DVD releases do what they say on the tin. Namely, no frills blues rock played by Thorogood and his very loud and tightly knit band. The classics are here - 'Bad To The Bone' with that trademark Thorogood slide, 'Move It On Over' and 'Who Do You Love'. Plus newer tracks blend seemlessly into the set like the guitar driven 'Don't Let The Bossman Get You Down'.

The DVD extras include a sound check version of 'Merry Christmas Baby'; an acoustic run through 'Ride 'Til I Die' and the promo video for 'American Made'. Although the latter is hardly much different from the rest of the DVD as it is filmed in a live setting!

CD or DVD, take your pick but either are worth it to experince a true blues rocking legend, whose natural arena is the stage and a live performance.
