Urge Overkill -- when it comes to live performance, I've always thought of 
them as Urge Overrated.  Though I thought they made some fine records, 
particularly SATURATION and a couple of their Touch & Go releases, they were 
a pretty poor live act, sloppy as all get out.  I saw them a few times with 
bands like Jesus Lizard and Didjits, whose incredible performances made UO's 
look even sadder.

The one thing I would like to know is if this is the true Urge lineup with 
Blackie, Nash and King Roeser, or if it's just Nash trotting out a new 
version...still, 45 minutes of The Shazam is worth a full price ticket in my 
book.
