This live CD documents Setzer on-stage in Japan in October 2006, cranking up his rockin' guitar for the very audible delight of a packed house. Setzer's band on this set, the Nashvillains, sound like a louder, tighter, and fuller variation on the Stray Cats, with pianist/guitarist Robbie Chevrier filling in the spaces when Setzer is soloing and bassist Ronnie Crutcher and drummer Bernie Dresel laying down a hard but traditionalist backbeat, though with a lot more flash than the average rockabilly act (the rhythm section doesn't solo much on a Gene Vincent session). The musicians blend well with Setzer, and the frontman's guitar skills are as sharp as ever, so any fans hoping to hear him tear off a few choice solos will be amply rewarded on this disc. The set list features a few classic rockabilly covers, including "Red Hot", "Put Your Cat Clothes On", and "Slow Down", and they inadvertently reveal Setzer's weak spot – he can write a good showcase for his guitar work, but as a lyricist he's never been able to move past the cars/girls/retro-cool cliches that have dominated his work since the Stray Cats, and his own songs usually suffer in comparison, especially on this set.
