Description: Between the making of Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head, the Beastie Boys checked into a rehearsal space and relearned how to make an album. Their new technique involved lots of extended jamming and experimentation, both of which are evident on the two previously unreleased versions of "Root Down" (and either of which could have substituted for the original version with no loss of quality). The rest of this mini-album was recorded live in Europe and shows the Boys in fine form, rocking early tracks with a funky new flow ("Time to Get Ill") as well as showing that they could pull off both their back-to-punk guitar-rock and their new-groove funk sounds onstage. --Randy Silver

Reviews:

A couple of great remixes

The highlight of this CD for me are the two remixes of "Root Down," which add a nice hip-hop flavor to the song. The remixes remind me a bit of their work on their next CD, "Hello Nasty." The rest of the CD consists of live versions of songs, mostly from their two prior CD's "Ill Communication" and "Check Your Head." I'm not a huge fan of the more rock-oriented "Ill Communication," so this CD was a bit of a disappointment for me, although the Beasties do sound pretty great live considering the complexity of their music. I think that fans of "Ill Communication" will probably really like this CD.

A GOOD COMPILATION OF ROOT DOWN REMIXES AND LIVE MATERIAL

ON THIS CD, THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF ''ROOT DOWN'' AND 7 LIVE PERFORMANCES. ALL THE TRACKS ARE PRETTY GOOD. THE BEST TRACKS ARE THE 3RD REMIX OF ''ROOT DOWN'' AND THE LIVE VERSION OF ''TIME TO GET ILL''. BEASTIE BOY FANS WILL LIKE THIS CD.

Beasties Live

Length - 29:38
Riding on the giant wave of success that emanated from Ill Communication, the Beastie Boys came back in 95' and put this EP together, consisting of the studio version of Root Down, and nine other tracks performed live in Europe. Overall the cd is pretty strong, offering such rocking live tracks as Heart Attack Man and Time For Livin', and excellent hip-hop tracks like Flute Loop and all versions of Root Down. The last track, Something's Got to Give, is an awesome closer- really spaced out and jamming. All in all, this album is definitely worth buying for casual or diehard Beastie Boys fans.
