And a nice review of 'One Night':

The Plimsouls One Night in America..(Oglio, 2005)....
The Plimsouls have been thrown into the ..power-pop.. category by just about everyone and their brother, but if you ask me these guys were some of the only guys holding down pure, soulful rock n.. roll during a time period (the 80..s) when the genre seemed to be lost. The Plimsouls were basically the British Invasion for the new-wave era. There are also very few bands that do not put out a mediocre album throughout their career span .. this is one of those bands. Album after album is filled with straight forward guitar-punching party-worthy rock n.. roll that has been absent as a whole for years now.
There was one thing absent throughout all the band..s albums .. the live experience. The Plimsouls are one of those bands it..s been rumored that, ..unless you have heard them live, you haven..t heard a thing... With the release of One Night in America (no one is really sure where it was recorded, in the liner notes Peter Case guesses it was in Cleveland) an album captures the essence of a live band in their prime .. something very few live albums are capable of doing. Everyone was on top of their game, rocking songs from ..Hush Hush.. to a cover of the Outsider..s ..Time Won..t Let Me..(which has never sounded better, not even the original itself).
If you haven..t heard anything live that knocks your socks off in a while, go pick this up. It..s a definitive album of a band that can play to a tiny crowd and rock harder than a band filling an arena with 100,000 strong. Doesn..t matter the size of the crowd, it..s what you do with it.

one of the greatest guitar records of all time. this set, which was just probably an average workday, is fucking amazing. i put this up with Television's "The Blow Up" and "5 Live Yardbirds" anyday. it is the past, present and future of everything rock and roll is and should be. ever.
