Hard rock/melodic metal pioneers Y&T have always been a LIVE metal machine and Yesterday & Today Live is the bedrock Y&T's legendary live shows are built upon. Recorded during what was then billed as the final date from Y&T's emotional farewell tour before the hometown crowd in San Francisco, the inspired and energetic live performance is a high-octane set of the very best from the band's early catalog. The track listing is back-loaded with the classics fronted by the mighty Dave Meniketti. The majority of the songs are pulled from a powerful trio of early-eighties Y&T albums, the ground-pounding Earthshaker LP, plus the prowling Black Tiger and the hardened Mean Streak. Opening with a blinding version of the keepin'-up-with-the-Jones' "Mean Streak," and the fully-blown assault of "Hurricane," the spirited 13-song performance adds "Struck Down," the sobering "Winds of Change," the growling "Black Tiger," the inspired "Midnight in Tokyo," the down 'n' out "Hard Times," the Bic-flickin' "I Believe in You" and set closer/fan favorite "Forever." New for this pressing are two additional bonus tracks not included on the original release in 1990: "Earthshaker" and "Rescue Me," making for a 15-track live concert experience from the legendary Bay Area sons, Y&T.
