From the 2001 "WAR TO END ALL WARS" US tour, the Cleveland performance on April 8th was completely recorded with a top-level audience recording for about 78 minutes. Just before the show, Yngwie had a heated argument with vocalist Jorn Lande, Jorn left the band, and the band performed a show without the singer. This is finally the live performance in Cleveland. Although Yngwie sings on a few songs, the majority of the performances are cover songs (Jimi Hendrix and Purple) and instrumentals, and you can enjoy the set and performance of this one-off day, which is different from usual, with a high-quality recording full of vivid textures. Although the band ensemble is rough, Yngwie plays very energetically on all the songs, and the content is very enjoyable for fans, including the intense ad-lib solos that can be heard in various places. Immediately after this, Yngwie was forced to cancel his one-week US tour, and for drummer John Macaluso, this was also Yngwie's last performance on stage. After the sixth song, Purple Haze, Yngwie himself said, "Anyone bootlegs this gig, it's going to be very valuable one day." This album, based on the recording that the recorder himself released online, is a very valuable piece that captures a one-night accidental live performance. This is a must-listen title for fans, featuring a performance and set full of highlights that are rare in Yngwie's live history, making it the true joy of a live CD.
