Johnny Thunders
Live Crisis

Overall this is a good CD. The sound quality is very good for a boot but I would guess that it was transferred from a vinyl record. The material comes from at least two sources:

1. What appears to be radio show and covers the Que Sera Sera period. Sound is well recorded and there is some intertrack talking by JT. The band, which I guess includes Keith Yon and Tony St. Helene, is tight and JT gives a very good performance. The mixture of songs includes a couple of my favorites such as MIA and Cool Operator. These are the first 6 tracks on the CD.
2. A live show, likely in Europe with the Oddballs, that includes a mixture of material which comes from Hurt Me and the regular staple of covers such as Steppin' Stone and Wipe Out. Sound quality is good, likely off the soundboard, and I like the mixture of tunes. JT gives a good performance and the band sounds fine. I think Alison Gordy is on backing vocals and it sounds like Jamie Heath on sax. Tracks 7-14 on the CD.
