Query: Rock as hard as anything around!! Very good!

I knew almost nothing about Rick Spingfield music until January 2005. All I knew was "Jessie's Girl" (from some compilation of mine) and I have the vinyl album "ROCK OF LIFE". Also, in my country his back catalogue was never reissued on CD, so it's very expensive to buy imports.SO, I decided to gamble and buy this ALIVE album, without any expectations, just to know the guy's music a little bit more, know what the fuss is all about... I was not dissapointed at all! This is a very energetic rockin' band, Rick sings better that a lot of young rocksingers half his age. There are good solos, the songs have amazing hooks (without sounding corny or cheesy), the band is tight.I also appreciated the honesty of the guy, because, in the notes, he admits that some overdubs were made in the studio, and even whole songs were recorded "live" in the studio.
