Twisted Sister – “Live at Hammersmith” [Live CD]

This disc was recorded live in 1984 when Twisted Sister was at the height of their success and were dominating the airwaves. I have been a huge Twisted Sister fan since their early bar days and I have seen them on numerous occasions. I can say with all honesty that this disc comes about as close as you can get to actually being there in the audience.

This disc was recorded live in 1984 when Twisted Sister was at the height of their success and were dominating the airwaves. I have been a huge Twisted Sister fan since their early bar days and I have seen them on numerous occasions. I can say with all honesty that this disc comes about as close as you can get to actually being there in the audience.

I am not a big fan of live discs in general, but I think the energy, power and aggression are captured with such tremendous accuracy that whether you are a fan of the band from the early days, or of their big ’80s hits, then this is a disc you will totally dig. It is capped off by two cover songs recorded live from Detroit in 1979; a great rendition of the Elvis Presley hit, “Jailhouse Rock” and the Aerosmith classic, “Train Kept A-Rollin”. Live At Hammersmith is a disc I would recommend without reservation.
