Editorial Reviews

"Live! Beg, Borrow & Steal" showcases the PLIMSOULS at the height of their power, tearing the roof off and on the verge of starting a riot on the old Sunset Strip. Recorded on a multi-track at the Whiskey A Go Go on October 31, 1981, this previously unreleased 18 song live album includes many of the Plimsouls classics as well as plenty of surprises. It has been stunningly remastered, features previously unpublished and gorgeous photos by photographer Bob Matheu. This is a must have for fans of the band, and rockn'roll lovers everywhere.

Beg, Borrow & Was There!

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

I ran across this one when fellow reviewer friend and also a Plimsoul fan (Philip) told me some "Live" albums by The Plimsouls were available. I looked and behold, I was at this show, in the flesh, in the day! This is the first time I have recalled it since I was there in person (except mentioning to Philip I had saw them "Live"). I went to Oingo Boingo shows on Holloween most of the time but was in Hollywood at the time and a buddy & me thought it would be a blast to see these guys. I had the vinyl, in 33 1/3, 7" and 12" so I was very familiar with the band. They do not disappoint, excellent in the day and this is excellent as well. The band was a power pop band that never got their chops. I highly recommend this one even if you have not heard of them like many people reading this now, check out the studio albums & come back to this one, I am sure you will thoroughly enjoy this one. All the main tracks from the first albums / singles / EP's are here. So, by all means, check it out, find some sound bits to hear and you be the judge.
Drop by my website sometime and look in the BLOG section which has a Plimsoul posting. "JudeMac Forever" google it.

It's only ramshackle rock and roll, but I like it

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2010

For those who arrived here via Peter Case, if you don't know, before heading off on his "unplugged" solo career 20-whatever years ago, Case was the front man of this Los Angeles four-piece, guitar-driven, power-pop/punk-rock outfit. They blended '60 rhythm and blues, British pop, psychedelic folk and garage rock, delivered in a ramshackle punk style.
The band is captured in its rowdy rock-'n'-roll element here. The Fleshtones join in on two tracks, which is a blast. And it sounds as fresh as it was 30 years ago.

Great Live band, but...

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2010

I was very fortunate in my youth to have seen The Plimsouls playing live, lucky because i am in Australia. I was a huge fan of the band back in the early 80's and to see them live was a dream come true. I remember it as if it were only last week, the band was on fire and delivered a killer live set. They were the most energetic band i had ever seen live, still are by any measure.

I have bought every CD ever released by the band including a previously released live performance that is badly distorted, and even the re-release of it which is not much better. So I had high hopes for this release. The fact it includes tunes not on the earlier live CD release was an added attraction too. Two of the songs pay homage to their influences, 'Sorry' and 'Women' are songs penned by Australia's most famous song writing team of Vanda and Young. The songs were originally performed by their band The Easybeats in the sixties. I recall them doing Women in the live set i saw in California.

While the performance is pretty good on this CD, it still does not really let you know what a live Plimsouls gig was all about, and the sound quality is just awful. If this is not a transfer from Cassette tape I would be very surprised. There is clearly azimuth issues on the opening track, which seems to settle down as the song gets going but it really sounds lacking in the top end and the drums sound like cardboard boxes.

But, if you are a Plimsouls fan (as I am) then you simply have to own this disc. Those just discovering the band, will glean little from this CD, and probably find it less to your liking if your experiences thus far are their studio albums. What we really need is a DVD release of the band live to get any real understanding of The Plimsouls place in music history, which is one of the finest rock bands of all time, and most certainly THE epitome of the Power Pop genre of the early 80's.

Love The Plimsouls forever! I was in college during the early 1980's and The Plimsouls were the best Los Angeles band at that time. Their music is still as fresh now as it was then. Highly recommend!

Midnight To Six

Live document of fun garage/power pop from the early-'80s

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2015

**Review originally appeared at https://midnighttosix.wordpress.com

This release marks the third installment of Alive Records’ Peter Case reissue campaign, coming behind last year’s compilations of his early work with The Nerves and The Breakaways. Live! Beg, Borrow and Steal comes from a Halloween 1981 Whiskey A Go Go date (right in the middle of the band’s two studio albums) originally recorded for a radio broadcast, with a better recording quality than you would expect from a twenty-nine year-old live album making its debut on CD. The band runs through an eighteen-song set mixing in well-chosen covers (Little Richard, The Who, The Kinks, two songs from The Easybeats – including a ripping version of “Sorry”, Thee Midnighters and Bo Diddley, among others) with originals written in the same tradition of simple, gimmick-free, tough rock and roll – including their lone hit “A Million Miles Away”. Members of the similarly-minded group The Fleshtones get on stage and join the fun on the encore covers of “Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!” and “New Orleans”, kicking the already considerable party vibe into overdrive. The only complaint I have is there’s no liner notes, which could have added some historical context.

Crunchy Powerpop by one of the best bands of the late 70s/early 80s.

The Plimsouls were top of the wave of early Power pop, and expecially Peter Case wrote songs that will remain with us forever. This is an inspired show, but there's still a better on available: Live at the Agora.

The Plimsouls Sold Out ce soir au Whisky A Go Go

Reviewed in France on November 21, 2010

Verified Purchase

On ne compte plus les groupes ou rock stars qui ce sont succédés dans ce temple dédié à la musique Pop depuis son ouverture en 1965 avec un certain Johnny Rivers et son tube planétaire "John Lee Hooker". Et en ce 31 octobre 1981 béni, Peter Case et son gang ont envahi les lieux. Et toutes les titres qui ont berçé ma période Power Pop des années 80' sont présents de "Hush, Hush" en ouverture à "Now", en passant par "A million miles Away", sans parler de " Women", et "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" et "New Orleans" avec leur copains des Fleshtones, un mini évènement en quelque sorte. Bref 18 titres se succèdent à la vitesse de l'éclair et Peter Case mouille la chemise ce soir, c'est du rock, ça tire de tous les cotés.
Tout serait presque parfait si le son était meilleur et la balance mieux travaillée; j'ai un peu de mal à entendre les basses.
C'est brut de décoffrage, mais c'est aussi l'époque qui veut cela.
Si vous faites abstraction de la médiocre production, vous serez comme moi sous le charme retrouvé des compositions de ce grand auteur compositeur qu'est Peter Case que même Springsteen adule le petit matin au petit déjeuner. Ce n'est pas moi qui le dit, c'est le "Boss" lui-même. Alors n'hésitez pas, c'est recommandable.

Peu après la séparation des Nerves, Peter Case (guitare et chant) a formé ce groupe de rock très eighties entouré de Dave Pahoa (basse et chant), Lou Ramirez (batterie) et Eddie Munoz (guitare). Ce concert, capturé live dans le célèbre Whisky a gogo le 31 octobre 1981, permet de saisir toute l'énergie qu'ils dépensaient sur scène. Le son est assez moyen néanmoins. Quelques reprises au milieu de leurs propres compositions : "dizzy miss lizzy" (Larry Williams), "who do you love "(Bo Didlley), "New Orleans" (Gary US Bonds) par exemple. Un bon album de rock live.
