For the record, I saw Kix live about 30 years ago (yeah, I’m that old) in a shithole of a nightclub called The Village (it may still be a shithole) in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Besides surviving the heat, sweat, and overpriced beer (yeah, it’s always been that way) of that night, I recall Kix putting on an energetic show.
You’ll get a taste of that energy withLive in Baltimore, a recording made at one their favorite hangouts, Rams Head Live. As with most reunion bands, the show is basically Kix’s greatest hits played live. They haven’t recorded any new material since 1995. You get many Kix classics like Kix Are For Kids, Girl Money, Cold Blood, the successful ballad Don’t Close Your Eyes, and a hyper-exaggerated version of Yeah Yeah Yeah. Surprisingly, the band sounds really good, and with that last song, front man Steve Whiteman is at his lewd, crude, and rude best.
