Review by Greg Prato
Ace Frehely's 1987 solo debut for Megaforce, Frehely's Comet, was a moderate commercial success, just missing the Top 40 and gold certification. Ace wanted to let his fans know that he was back for good, so he launched a U.S. tour soon after the album's release -- which included an opening stint for another glam rock king, Alice Cooper. Recorded at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on September 4, 1987, the five-song EP Live + 1 contains four live tracks and one studio leftover from the Frehley's Comet sessions, "Words Are Not Enough." The live material shows that the new band could easily create excitement on-stage, as evidenced by a pair of Kiss-era compositions, "Rip It Out" and "Rocket Ride," plus a couple from the 1987 album, "Something Moved" and "Breakout" (the latter complete with an Anton Fig drum solo). Read More
