Speaking of the live material drummer Roxy Petrucci comments, "It's really cool to see so many old and new fans enjoying these classic songs as we perform them live, so it only made sense to release this live album!" Guitarist Britt Lightning adds, "This album really captures all the spontaneity and energy of the band's live performance." Vixen first burst onto the scene in the 80's and achieved large scale commercial success with songs like "Edge of A Broken Heart", "Cryin" and "Love Made Me". The band has sold over a million albums, had six #1 videos on MTV, four songs on Billboard's Top 100 and is the only platinum selling all female 80's act.
