Of course, the best-known (and just plain "best")
incarnation will be what many fans regard as the "Mach II" lineup of
,
, and
. But by the early to mid-'90s, an on-again, off-again reunion of this lineup had fizzled out upon the exit once more of
, their founding guitarist. Instead of calling it a day,
eventually found a permanent replacement in former
and
guitarist
, and have been rocking and rolling ever since. Although not released until 2006,
shows that the
-era
lineup, even in this early stage, had no problem cranking out the classics (albeit in a much more smooth and -- dare it be said -- predictable style than when
was present). Kicking things off with one of
's heaviest tracks,
the 12-track set balances the classics (
) with newer/
co-penned tunes (
). With so many countless live
titles having hit the shops over the years,
is hardly a necessary release, but it is sure to appeal to the diehards who need to buy everything
