Y&T: open Fire LIVE PROMO LP

Open Fire is the first live album by American hard rock/heavy metal band Y&T, released in 1985 through A&M Records. It was recorded in the same year.
Y&T's songs were simply made to be heard in a live setting. Arriving at the tail end of the band's association with A&M Records, Open Fire is an exceptional live-album; the difference between these performances and their studio counterparts is so immense that one has to wonder if the performances are even by the same band. Every forced lyric, every lame arrangement, and every lost nuance are forgotten as Y&T come to explosive life on this astounding set, which revisits the best moments from the band's early-'80s career, including "Rescue Me," "Forever," "Barroom Boogie," and "Open Fire." Later material like "Go for the Throat" and "Summertime Girls" is impressive and the inclusion of an old track ("25 Hours a Day") from their late-'70s origin as Yesterday & Today comes off as great. A final encore of the beautifully cathartic "I Believe in You" is guaranteed to send everyone home happy.
