Not that big of an Agnostic Front fan, but I like both the "Eliminator" and "Your Mistake," which are on here, and the price was certainly right. I understand the historical importance of releasing this recording, since it was their last US show before the band initially dissolved (this was a posthumous release back in 1993). The sound quality is good, and it's not a bad show, but it doesn't seem like a particularly special or noteworthy one. The vocals are a bit low in the mix so that may be partially to blame, but Roger's singing sounds really worn out and unenergetic at times.
The latter part of the CD contains the 1983 United Blood EP. While their crossover stuff is okay, I really have no interest in AF's early pure NYHC stuff. It has plenty of punky speed, but I find it to be severely lacking in aggression or cool riffs. If I had to listen to early hardcore, I'd definitely pick something else.
