Live in Los Angeles was recorded during a pair of gigs at the Los Angeles House of Blues in the fall of 2004, and while John Doe jokes in passing that the years are advancing upon him and his bandmates, the truth is that, on much of this album, you'd be hard-pressed to guess if this was recorded in 2004 or 1984, and that's a high compliment. Zoom's punkabilly guitar leads are as sharp and bruising as ever, Doe and Bonebrake remain a potent and muscular rhythm section, and if there's still a high chaos factor in Doe and Cervenka's harmonies, they sound passionate and reckless, and no real fan would want them any other way. There are no new songs here, and the arrangements don't differ in a substantial way from the studio recordings of these tunes, but this does offer up a fine quality live recording of X's best lineup, something listeners didn't get the first time around, and while the cynical might suggest that this is the product of a band playing the punk version of the oldies circuit, if X are performing with this much skill and fury, you can't say the fans aren't getting great value for their money. Big, loud, dangerous fun.
