Absolutely! It's only one of the greatest live albums ever made, so if you
don't like it, you can safely assume you don't like the MC5.

There's a bewildering array of archive/unreleased/live MC5 stuff out there-
this thread has helped me make sense of some of it, but there's still a ton
of albums that *might* be worth hearing, but on the other hand might be
awful bootleg-quality rip-offs. Any comments on "Thunder Road"?
Or "Greatest Hits Live"? (not a title that inspires confidence, that last
one). One I do have is:

13/ref=sr_1_2_13/026-1786550-7358069

"Motor City is Burning"- a mixed bag, some of it has terrible sound
quality, but a few tracks are essential- the spinechilling version of the
title track for example. Is there any comprehensive online guide to all
these releases?
