Like him or not, you have to credit
Yngwie Malmsteen for sticking to his guns over the years. Since his debut in the early '80s, he hasn't slowed down a bit, despite countless obstacles that have been thrown in his path along the way. This double-CD live set shows that -- astonishingly --
Malmsteen's playing is even faster and more over the top in concert than it is on his studio recordings. Overall,
Double Live is far superior to the muddy-sounding (and sloppy)
Live in Leningrad disc, released ten years earlier. It includes some tasty covers by
Rainbow,
Deep Purple, and
Jimi Hendrix. ~ Andy Hinds
