Slade Alive, Vol. 2, like all live Slade, is searing. Unfortunately, it was released into a void in 1978. Now well past having a U.S. record deal, and with no one in England really interested, Vol. 2 came out on Barn, not exactly a major player in the record business. The album is excellent, both in terms of performance and sound quality. They also did a great job of selecting material for this disc. A nice balance of classics (all Top Three singles in their day) and newer material that hadn't really been heard before. The album kicks off with a devastating version of &Get on Up& from Nobody's Fools. This version not only smokes its predecessor, it is the epitome of the Serious Heaviness. Slade has by this point developed into a full-fledged heavy metal band while retaining everything that made them great in the first place. The playing is simply awesome on this number. A couple of tracks that had been released as singles in 1977 and 1978 also get the treatment. The band combines the rock standards &My Baby Left Me& and &That's Alright Mama& into one mean song. 1950s rock is one of Slade's strong suits -- revved up a bunch, of course. &Burning in the Heat of Love& is a ripping song in the tradition of, well, Slade. (Check out Girlschool's nice version of this one.) And then there were the hits. &Mama Weer All Crazee Now,& &Gudbuy T Jane,& &C'mon Feel the Noize,& &Take Me Back Ome& -- face it folks, this is what a rock & roll good time is all about. A very strong outing that got the band nowhere (fast!). The tastes of the fickle public cannot be predicted, so Slade just continued to do what they did best. Make rock & roll records, and annihilate eardrums whenever they played.
