D.R.I.Live Release Date 1995 02 13 Label Rotten Records Rating: ![]() The majority of longtime hardcore/punk fans will agree: the genre is best experienced live than on record. And one of the top hardcore live performers of the '80s was D.R.I., whose shows were oft-times wild and high-energy affairs. Despite issuing albums on a regular basis from 1983 through 1992, the group never got around to issuing an all-live full length -- until the arrival of 1994's Live. Recorded in November 1992 while on tour in support of their Definition release, the release captures the band during a time when they had transformed into a full-fledged thrash metal band, as evidenced by such tracks as &"Thrashard" (a rather obvious title, eh?) and &"Acid Rain." However, the group hadn't turned their backs entirely on their roots -- such early classics as &"Mad Man" and &"I Don't Need Society" are as vibrant and explosive as ever. Some bands mellow in their old age, but certainly not the D.R.I. gentlemen: Live serves as a crucial piece of evidence. Greg Prato, Rovi |
