So today I'm going to review one of my favorite live albums in my collection, and one of the very few last surviving original CDs from my original collection, that I still have. This CD and DVD are a total Nostalgia trip from me I got this album when I was 18 years old It was one of the first things I ever got with my first pay check from my first job, I discovered two of my favorite bands on this album Incubus and Orgy, and I was tripping out to hear for the first time Limp Bizkit and Korn live, I had a couple of very bad quality boot legs of these guys, back in the day you depended on MTV or Much Music to see the videos and occasional live sets but the Nu Metal bands got very little air time at that moment.


Line up and track list highlights:
·         Incubus ( Note I discover this band on this CD):  Blasts out funk metal with New Skin, which is pretty cool because they don't play this song anymore.
·         Orgy: They have three tracks on this CD they sound great, its interesting to listen how they use Synth guitars and interesting Drum triggers to add to their particular sound, which feels very 80's in a good way. Blue Monday the cover from New Order is one of the strongest tracks from the CD.
·         Limp Bizkit: They play two covers Faith from George Michaels and Jump Around from the House of Pain, the second track is the first time its on a production and its great to hear this song reinterpreted even though it isn't perfect. On the other hand the band play a new track called Cambodia that will latter morph into two tracks on their next album Significant Other
·         Ice Cube: comes out swinging with a couple of Rap classics
·         Rammstein: Play their classic Du Hast, now on the DVD the singer on another track pulls out a rubber penis from his pants and starts pissing on the crowd, now that pretty weird, I guess these guys have some  issues
·         Korn; this band has four tracks on the Album one of them is a mash up medley that isn't that good, the other three songs are great it sort of crazy but Korn sounds much better then than now, tighter more pro better grooves.
·         The DJ C-Minus plays on the interludes from artist to artist
 
 Overall: 56
