Most Bad Company Fans have been waiting 30 years for a live album from the original band line up, so when the reunion tour happened in 1999 and Mick Ralphs in an interview stated that he was going to sort through his private tape collection with the intention of releasing a full live show on CD, fans had something to get excited about at last. It took another five years coming then just as it was about to be released, it was deleted, due to a contractual dispute from other members of the band I've been told, claiming they did not give their permission for the release.
A very small handful of copies of this CD did slip out and I was very fortunate to lay my hands on one, even if it did cost me a small fortune. I must say it was worth every penny. The sound quality is spot on and with loads of mixing desk tapes to choose from, Mick Ralphs is able to pick what he thinks is the best show from the tour. I think he's made a great choice. Bad Company's first three albums are generally regarded by most fans as the best and that's exactly what you get here. The best of the first three albums, Live!
It's to be hoped that this album can be released sometime because every fan deserves to hear it, but unfortunately this is unlikely. It's also a shame the band just like many other bands could not put the fans first for once, instead of their petty squabbles.

You may have a different pressing from the one(s) in the database
This is possible as there are so many fakes around, some have added extra bonus tracks and one I
know of has even added an extra disc of Paul Rodgers live material making a 3 CD Set. There are so many fakes and so few originals around that the version in the database may be a fake. This one is definitely a genuine original silver pressing, it cost me a fortune at the time. I’ve run this by the staff who say it’s OK to post.
