Smithereens, The - Live at the Roxy

Review by Gaia Conceptions

Live at the Roxy by Smithereens, The, is a fantastic album that captures the energy and raw power of the band's live performances. From the opening track, "Behind the Wall of Sleep," to the closing number, "Blood and Roses," the album is a non-stop barrage of hard-hitting rock and roll.

The band's tight musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with lead singer Pat DiNizio's gravelly vocals perfectly complementing the driving guitar riffs and thunderous drumming. The live setting adds an extra layer of intensity to the songs, making them even more powerful than their studio counterparts.

One standout moment on the album is the band's cover of The Who's "Substitute," which they make their own with their signature sound. Another highlight is the blistering rendition of "Time Won't Let Me," which showcases the band's ability to take a classic song and make it sound fresh and exciting.

Summary by Gaia Conceptions

Live at the Roxy is a must-have for fans of The Smithereens and anyone who loves high-energy, guitar-driven rock and roll. It's a testament to the band's incredible talent and their ability to put on an unforgettable live show.
