Poison Album: “Swallow This Live”

This re-issue really kills the album completely. It's only half of the live tracks, and none of the new studio tracks. And honestly, without the new studio tracks, there's really no point in bothering with this album.

Believe it or not, I haven't even had my copy of this live Poison very long. Most of the time I've seen copies of this title, they were usually at used CD stores, thus asking for as much {often more} than a sealed / new copy at stops like Best Buy, Borders, etc. Thought this audio document of the band's 'Flesh And Blood' 1990-91 world tour was pretty good. Tunes I dug the most were "Look At What The Cat Dragged In", "Look But You Can't Touch", "I Want Action", the nine-minute guitar solo, Loggins & Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance" and "Nothing But A Good Time". Also the four {4} added bonus tracks aren't bad either. A should-have.

For A true Poison fan this is great, knowing the recent releases I wonder why more people are not buying the new albums.

This double live features Poison's on-stage energy and a few new studio tracks high lighted by "So Tell Me Why". It also features a C.C. Deville solo and a Drum solo by none other than Rikki Rockett. Classic Poison...

Great live hits cd, and the new tracks are fantastic but they should have saved the new songs for a future cd and this should have been a live hits only cd.
