This exciting 2004 release of a live Stray Cats gig in England is a rockabilly lover's delight. The boys are in fine form as Brian Setzer leads the trio through a long set of their hits, favorites and a few lesser known tunes.
The set list:
Rumble In Brighton
Double Talkin' Baby
Something's Wrong With My Radio
Ubangi Stomp

Good Rockin' Tonight
Twenty Flight Rock
(She's) Sexy + 17
Please Don't Touch
New Bonus Studio Track:
Mystery Train Kept A Rollin'
The sound recording is excellent as is the camera work. The stage show is sparse and uncluttered, reflecting the 'Cat's approach of simple 3-piece rockabilly roots music (how refreshing, muscians that can actually PLAY their instruments and don't need fog, lazers and dancers!;). The DVD comes with behind the scenes tour footage, vintage pics and a long session of the Stray Cats in the studio recording a new song (the rather lame "Mystery Train Kept A Rollin' - a "tribute" type yawner that kind of shows why rockabilly can be a rather limiting genre - though one I love;)
I give the disk a four star rating - you can order a copy through Amazon on this page. Enjoy!
