The Plimsouls recorded at their height of popularity and intesity?! You got it here with 18 songs.
"4 stars. Anyone who thinks of the Plimsouls as another skinny-tie pop band gets schooled by the revved-up power of "Women" and "Everyday Things," and their R&B roots get a thorough airing with stellar covers of "Jump, Jive and Harmonize," "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," and "Who Do You Love?" The Plimsouls were a couple years away from their best album, Everywhere at Once, but a few of its songs are already in the set list, and "A Million Miles Away" already sounds like an instant classic. And if having the Fleshtones (who opened the show) join in for "New Orleans" and "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" doesn`t exactly make the show tighter, they certainly boost the party atmosphere to the next level. If you loved the Plimsouls, Live! Beg, Borrow & Steal will instantly remind you why they were one of the best bands of the early `80s, and if you`ve never given them a listen, this is good enough to make anyone with ears a believer." - AMG. "he Plimsouls were a non-stop live act. They launch from the gates at full-speed with "Hush Hush" and never let the pedal up from the floor. "Lost Time" assembles itself from stabbing rhythm guitar riffs, rumbling bass and propulsive drums, and "Women" teases with a moment of confidentiality before roaring down the strip with all cylinders firing. Plimosouls originals "A Million Miles Away" and "Everyday Things" get an extra measure of passion on stage, and when the band kicks into their encore covers of the Kinks` "Come on Now" and Gary "U.S." Bonds` "New Orleans" (with the Fleshtones sitting in on the latter) it`s as if they`re offering their souls on the altar rock `n` roll. Their cover of Thee Midniters` "Jump, Jive & Harmonize" is missing the signature organ whine, but Case sounds absolutely possessed throughout this and the rest of the set. Power pop fans treasure the Plimsouls` studio recordings, but their live set proves them one of the era`s top rock `n` roll bands. When they get deep into the groove it feels as if Peter Case is doing all he can to stay on top of this hard-charging band. Nearly thirty years later this set still commands you get up and move around - the Plimsouls` powers transcend time and space. Less than half the titles here, recorded at the Whisky A Go Go, overlap with One Night in America, and the inclusion of "Lost Time," "Women," "Zero Hour," "I Want You Back," and "Everyday Things" makes this disc an essential for fans." - Hyperbolium.com.
