Live At Hammersmith

Performer: Twisted Sister
Engineer: Denny McNerny
Producer: Mark Mendoza
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA)

Notes: Twisted Sister: Jay Jay French, Eddie Ojeda (vocals, guitar); Mark "The Animal" Mendoza (vocals, bass); Al Pero (vocals, drums); Dee Snider (vocals). Additional personnel: Tony Petri (drums). Recorded live at Hammersmith Odeon, London, England in 1984. At two discs, Live at Hammersmith may be a little too long for anyone but the most dedicated fans, but the best moments prove that the latter-day Sister still could rock with as much conviction and passion as they could in the early '80s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Twisted Sister, fronted by charismatic Long Islander Dee Snider, occupied a unique place in rock-&-roll history. A band of populists with a regular-guy attitude toward fun, the band also set out to shock with blatantly sexual lyrics and outrageous gender-bending costumes. They formed in 1976--partly in response to the disco phenomenon--and opted for more straightforward hard-rock riffs rather than the new punk sounds being created by their local peers. After relentless gigging and recording, they finally hit the charts in 1984 with the all-purpose us-against-the-world anthem "We're Not Gonna Take It." After a few more albums with no further hits, the band disassembled and Snider went on to a varied solo career.
