| Like almost everyone else, I bought this because of the Descendents. I own the other Descendents live albums, (Liveage & Hallraker) both are good but this one blows the others away. The energy and sound quality are better here, especially on Milo's vocals. There isn't that echoing chorus effect on the vocals like on Liveage. Milo sings with urgency and the raw energy that shows how excited he was to be back and making music after such a long hiatus. The song selection is better too - Bikeage AND Hope! It's worth it to have all the Descendents live albums, but this one is THEE must have.
The ALL disc is good also, but ALL was never as catchy or memorable as the Descendents for me. Buy this for the Descendents and be stoked about getting a "free" ALL CD with it. |

| I bought this just for the Descendents CD and it is well worth the purchase just to have another CD full of live Descendents material. However, I have listened to the ALL CD quite a few times and I haven’t really been impressed by it that much. It’s kind of funny, you’d figure that’d love both the Descendents and ALL but it just didn’t happen for me. Maybe I just need to check out and listen to some of ALL’s studio albums first before listening to their live CD again. |

| Primarily I bought this because of the DESCENDENTS disk which I cannot fault in the slightest. Scince this is the closest I will come to a live Descendents show or will it. I’ve got wind of a new Descendents album being released about the same time as two ALL albums which won’t amount to the single Descendents one. Overall very very good. More worth it than a L’Oreal TV advert! |

| Okay, first let me just say that the Descendents are definatly one of my favorite bands. I can't say the same for ALL, however. ALL is alright, but the Descedents disc is amazing. Thats why I'm giving the CD a five, just for the Descendents live. Even if you dont like ALL too much (like me) I HIGHLY siggest you buy this just to listen to some amazing live Descendents. Also, if you like this, definalty get Milo Goes to College. Its their best release. |

| at first i was eager to hear this cd, but as soom as i heard chuds voice, i was disappointed. don't get me wrong, i love new All material, but when he tries to pull off songs like She's My Ex and Skin Deep, you can't help but shudder. Bring back Reynolds or Smalley! The descendents cd is amazing though. Get it just for that. |

| What can I say about the Descendents or even ALL. ALL is a great band but wow man do the Descendents blow them away. They fucking rock. Milo is one of the best vocalists in rock ever. Pick this up and you'll get a bonus of the offspring of Descendents.........ALL!!! |

| I've never been a huge fan of All but I do enjoy their live show so I was very pleased with their portion of the CD. They delivered the same intensity on CD as they do live and in person. As for the Descendents live CD, that makes it all worth it! If anything buy the CD for that, the Descendents were one of the best live bands ever! |

| How can you not love this thing? Just look at all the great songs on these disks. And it is CHEAP! In all reality though, they could have picked a different Descendents show, I saw this tour and they rocked out so much more, better songs, more intensity. The All disk rules. A perfect capper to any good All/Descendents collection. |

| Do you like ALL? Do you like the Descendents? If you answered yes and yes then I don't know why you don't already own this albumn. It's great. There's nothing like hearing Chad sing all those old classic ALL songs. The sound quality is top notch for a live albumn. I can't recommend this one enough. |

| This CD is incredable. I don't think many live cds can measure up to the Descendants and All's performace. The best songs on the Descendants cd are " Silly Girl", " Get the Time" and " Coffee Mug". The All cd is also full of classics. But, I spend most of the time listening to the Descendants.
Also, if you like this CD, you should buy a Dropkick Murphy cd. Irish Punk on the rise! |
