UMUR "Evilive" is a live EP release by US hardcore punk act The Misfits. The EP was released through Plan 9 Reocords in December 1982. "Evilive" was re-released in October 1987 in a live album format featuring 5 additional tracks. 7 tracks were recorded December 17, 1981, at The Ritz in New York City and the remaining 5 tracks were recorded November 20, 1981, at On Broadway in San Francisco.

"Evilive" is an authentic sounding "warts and all" type live release and I´d be surprised to learn that the band had added any overdubs to the recordings, because this is really raw and savage sounding. It´s not what I would call bootleg lo-fi sound quality, but it´s close. It´s probably a true document of what The Misfits sounded like on stage in late 1981, and while the sound quality isn´t exactly pristine, and especially Glenn Danzig´s vocals fade in and out as he moves around stage, and he don´t always master singing the in the same volume, it´s still a pretty charming live release if you can enjoy them simple and raw. The hard edged and fast-paced "We Are 138" (featuring Henry Rollins from Black Flag on backing vocals) is especially chaotic in the vocal department.

The Misfits burn through classic tracks like "London Dungeon", "Horror Business", and "Night of the Living Dead" like there´s no tomorrow, and it´s as close to actually being at the venue as you can possibly get. Audience noise, sound issues, playing mistakes and all the things which makes a real sweaty rock/punk/metal concert worth attending. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
