PAPA ROACH
- Live & Murderous In Chicago

The '90s / 2000 angst-ridden new rock cross-over bands had quite a run when the tide was high. They seemed to have scattered in the shadow of the new new style. Papa Roach were one of those acts that turned kids (who didn't actually know whether they liked heavy music) onto this style of audio expression. This performance was recorded live at the Vic Theatre, Chicago on the 1st of May 2005. There is a short verbal clip from each of the members before the show starts. The 20 live songs cover most of their accomplishments and crowd favourites, including Dead Cell, Not Listening, M-80, Blood, Getting Away With Murder, Life Is A Bullet, Blood Brothers, Hit Me (Hip Hop Version), Scars, Cocaine, and of course Last Resort, and Between Angels And Insects. For some reason the performance seems to lack energy (except for the vocalist). Fans would disagree, but perhaps it could be the over-lit look for the video cameras. Others may feel it's either because it is an effortless exercise for the band who knows the music backwards - or the music is pretty effortless…
Extras cover a Picture Gallery, hidden Easter Egg, and all of their music videos: Last Resort, Broken Home, Between Angels And Insects, She Loves Me Not, Time & Time Again, Getting Away With Murder, and Scars. Not a bad show, but the videos make it a complete package.
