Seminal punk band Agnostic Front's 1989 release Live at CBGB's was a blistering history lesson on the New York hardcore scene. Seventeen years later, Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma's visceral reaction to the early-'80s new wave movement revisited the lauded venue for another ferocious lecture, this time with five Digital 24p cameras and 5.1 Surround Sound. Front classics like "Victim in Pain," "Public Assistance," and "Toxic Shock" shake the time-worn, smoke-and-grease-covered band stickers off of the club walls, and the 23-minute documentary, photo gallery, exclusive interview with Stigma, and pristine 52-minute set only bolsters the group's reputation as legend of the genre. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
