This mighty combination propels things very nicely to the closer “I Take No Prisoners.” It’s not a bad closer, especially when he works his typical guitar magic, but if I were in the audience and heard that song before he left the stage, I would certainly expect him back to play more. However, the stand out track for me is “I Am a Predator” because that song has many of the elements I have already mentioned. The long lead solo is simply hypnotic and the same can be said for the solos on “Heads Will Roll,” “Land of a Thousand Dances and of course, the instrumental “The TNT Overature.” Furthermore, his between the songs banter is best on “Jailbait” which is shows his more humourous side. While his trademark work with the guitar is well cemented on the album, it is the third track “My Love is Like a Tire Iron” where he really goes to the ionosphere with it. It’s one that would have definitely gotten the crowd on their feet. If it wasn’t for his introduction of the song before he played, “Put Up or Shut Up” would have been a great show opening song. These are 10 songs that simply sound fantastic live and the order they appear is near perfect. If “Intensity in 10 Cities” had been recorded as a live concert instead of over a series of concerts, it still would have been worth the price of admission. I have to say, I think he was right on that one. Ted believed that since those songs had been well honed over the months of playing them on tour, they would sound better recorded live as opposed to in the studio. This is just as much true with the 1982 live album “Intensity in 10 Cities” as it was with the 1978 “Double Live Gonzo.” The songs recorded on the album were a series of songs that were never recorded previously. I have heard many a live album in my years and I can say that no one else brings the energy from a live show onto a record better than Ted Nugent. “You’re Double Live Gonzo, Live at Budokan, Intensity in 10 Cities.” Wayne Campbell to Casandra in Wayne’s World 1 Having seen him live twice and both accounts are recorded for posterity in “Rock and Roll Children,” I can personally testify to this. What do they know? What I know is that when you see the Motor City Madman on stage, you don’t care about politics, you are simply amazed by the energy Ted emits while on stage and the magic he creates with that guitar. Someone once called me “clueless” because I stated that I would still go to a Ted Nugent concert in spite of his political ramblings.
