30 Years - Live From The Sunset Strip

I actually liked the most recent Great White album, elation. I was curious as to how the new singer would sound on the old material, so I bought this album as soon as it came out. With no disrespect meant to Terry, this version of the band just doesn't cut it. The singer strains to hit high notes that Jack made seem so easy. I also find it interesting, as another reviewer noted, that they do not do ANY songs off of the new album. The band sounds as tight as they always have, but without Jack singing these songs, it's just not the same. I would recommend this to absolute die-hards only. In my opinion, this shark has lost some of it's bite.

This album rocks. It was wonderful to hear the older songs with new life in them. Terry Ilous is a great addition to a already great band. I was pleasantly surprised and actually like the band more after listening. My only complaint would be that they didnt record more songs and make it a double live album. I hope they come out with a live dvd from the show. GREAT WHITE is better than ever!

The album has all the songs!And really showcases thier new singer Terry Ilous(XYZ) talents!Great White has always been an awesome band live and this album lets you have it in your living room!Mark Kendall smokes on the lead guitar as always and Michael Lardie in addition to guitar/keyboards is like a genious producer/engineer and the rythem section Audie Desbrow on drums and Scotty Snyder on bass is as bad ass as it gets anywhere! We love this album! And recommend everyone to buy it as well as thier new studio album "Elation" which came out 1 year ago with all new tracks.Great White Rocks!!!We Love you Great White!!We would like the dvd of show ?see you out there this soon!

This was a great sounding performance of the best old songs. I sounds like the band had a great time playing this material again. If you forget about the stuff with former singer/songwriter Jack Russell, it is a fun listen.

Great White is not Great White without Jack Russell. Jack's voice puts the groove to the tight music. I have been a GW fan forever....this 30 Years CD is shameful and sounds like Judas Priest covering Great White tunes. Although the music is as tight as ever and Mark's guitar wails, Terry does not have the pipes to give the music the bluesy punch that is Great White. Terry is a nice enough guys but his voice sounds like he is going to break into "Breakin the law" in every song. Da blue's aint' sung with a british draw. I hope Jack continues to get his head out of his ass and live clean.. Someday I hope to see Audie, Michael, Mark and Jack back together again...If you think this CD is Great White..You don't know Jack!

I dont mind the new singer, and i liked there last cd with him. what i don't like is that the recording is poor....... and no new songs? but its still worth a listen.

Bluesy Rock and Roll took me out of the past and into the present with Terry Ilous Mark Kendall, Michael Lardie. Scott Snyder, Audie Desbrow at their finest. Elation is great, but this is LIVE! Amazing, perfect for this rainy Sunday afternoon!

Great recording, great performance. Terry Ilous sounds great on vocals. Welcome back Great White.!! they play the kind of Rock & Roll and Blues that I like.

Good album from a underrated eighties band

TENGO UN DISCO DEL GRUPO Y HABIA OIDO ESTE DIRECTO Y ME HE DECIDIDO A TENERLO EN FORMATO ORIGINAL PARA APRECIAR MEJOR SU SONIDO.

Encore un Live pour féter leurs 30 années d'existence? La question d'aprés comment compresser 30 années vouées au dieu du Rock en 11 titres? Au demeurant le titre du cd parait prétentieux mais résume bien la carrière de ce groupe. J'aurais préféré qu'on l'appelle "Best of Live" mais c'était rejeté Jack Russell, co-fondateur du groupe et ex-chanteur pendant la période bénie du Great White, mais évincé du groupe dernièrement au profit d'un petit français Tery (Thierry) Ilous, originaire de Lyon mais exilé depuis plus de 20 ans aux States.Car la voila la particularité de cet opus: le chanteur! Pas facile de remplacer Jack Russell et la critique est facile. Mais là ou les groupes cherchent à remplacer leurs chanteurs par des copies conforme façon "copier-coller", Great White s'est offert un chanteur à la voix différente, sorte de Gary Bolden années MSG ou de Joe Leb des Variations années 70'et aux intonations à la Steve Marriott lors de l'introduction des titres. Pas trés original mais bougrement efficace surtout quand il s'agit de chanter le blues.Sur les interprétations pas de grandes nouveautés musicales si ce n'est une version longue et vitaminée de "Can't shake it" à faire palir Angel City."It's just Rock'n' Roll but I like it"comme chantait l'ancêtre.

Musikstil der Gruppe finde ich nach wie vor klasse.Leider passt der ausgeschiedene Sänger Russelmeines Erachtens besser zu den alten Titeln, der neue zu den Neuen ist aber ok.
