 Giving all they can October 13, 2005
LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY puts Black 47 in a time capsule. A band that feeds on audience participation and feedback, Black 47 is in its element here, jumping on Rudy Giuliani, yelling at the slam dancers, and making the audience work as hard as they do. The band is as loose as can be, reflecting Kirwan's sheer joy as a performer, the band going off on tangent's and other than telling the audience that this was being recorded, you get the feeling that this is the way the band always approaches a show and this is the way the audience always responds. Mixing Irish Ska with protests and reels, the band really doesn't fit into any category save one: a live band that gives the audience all they can ask for.

Black 47 is straight up raw and unradio friendly. Its all about having a good time and being moved. This cd still doesnt come close to seeing them but I guess its the closest thing. Larry's guitar playing isnt the most skillful but when your lyrics and music are based on blood and love, they dont have to be. The cd is nice but see these guys live! James Conelly will bring you to tears every time.
Black 47 at their best.......live June 25, 2003

i never heard black 47 before i seen them live, and i was pretty amazed. After seeing them live i wanted to check out the cds, however, all of the studio recorded albums seem to have something missing. After feeling let down i seen they had a live cd out in their home town of New York. I bought the album and never put it down, because it is that good. Their are a live band and this record really shows their energy that the studio albums lacked.
Good Drunken Fun! April 14, 2003

They cover Dylan, Bob Marley, and the Clash but they do it with the classic Irish flair as only Black 47 can. Kirwan's voice has never sounded worse but that is what makes the album so brilliant. It is almost endearing. This live version of "Funky Ceili" may be the best ever. "Green Suede Shoes" sounds great live as well. The vocals in "40 Shades of Blue" are excruciating but somehow suit the song perfectly. This album is good drunken fun.
The Best of Black 47 September 3, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is Black 47's best CD. Black 47 is one of the best live bands around, always giving 110%, and this album helps you appreciate their original sound and their hard work. This is also their last album with Chris still in the band, and his voice and hip-hop influences are currently missed. Every person for whom I have played this album is now a Black 47 fan as well, joining the loyal family of followers.
