My sum:
„Ladies and gentlemen!
Due to unforseen circumstances Slipknot will not be peforming this evening!“
With that voice this live record begins. The angry crowd shouts. The atmosphere boils over. Suddenly nine masked guys from Des Moines, Iowa, enter the stage. Bullsh!t, Slipknot IS performing that evening! Two hours of heavy sound are awaiting us.
When I first listened to this album I almost had tears in my eyes, because it reminds me to the excellent Slipknot live act at "Rock am Ring 2005". It had been 1:00 am when they performed that night. It was getting cold and it had started to rain a bit. I took my t-shirt off to have something half-way dry after the concert. I stood somewhere between row 10 and 20 with the upper part of my body naked. Real maggot-like. I ensured that I had enough space around me to headbang :) . Some that had seen me during the concert might have called me „out of control“, I call it „feeling the music“.
All the great tracks of the band’s albums this live act is mixed of are on this double CD 'cept for "My Plague" (it's the "Resident Evil" movie soundtrack, too). Even the drum solo of Joey Jordison is included, where he plays the drums girdled into his chair half overhead on a raised and tilted rotating platform. Although band member #8, Corey, doesn’t shout as powerful in "Left Behind", which is one of my fav songs by Slipknot, it sounds pretty cool, especially when you keep in mind that this is still a two hour LIVE concert. On the other hand this is maybe the major critical point: The album is that long that Corey can’t hold the level of his notorious voice during the whole live act.
But no doubt my most favorite track on this double CD is "Spit It Out". I suppose that at "Rock am Ring" I was the very first of the 40,000 people who went down on his knees while "Spit It Out" was played (I was yet familar to the following scenary because of the live DVD "Disasterpieces"). Finally the whole crowd in the seperated inner area also went down as I did just to jump da f*** up again with me when Joey and Corey took us "home". It was an unforgettable experience.
This record is like a symbol of one of the best concerts to me I visited last year!

Good to know that I did't write this experience down for "total non-sense".
