Say what you will about Rick Ta Life or his bands, but old 25 Ta Life rules, plain and simple, both live and on record. Maybe he's become a caricature of himself nowadays, but just check out his stuff on the old NYHC documentary to see someone who's super passionate about hardcore, gotta respect that. Here's a live-tape of a show 25 Ta Life played in Aachen, Germany in 1998. An old friend of mine, Job, used to be a tour-manager in the '90s and early 00's. He happened to be one on this tour as well, so in typical Rick Ta Life fashion there's a shout-out to him at this show, haha. Anyways, this live-tape was released by Lockdown Records, a small label which was run by a local guy called Stefan Maassen, who's still around in the German scene. The sound-quality is quite decent for a DIY tape release, so if you're into 25 Ta Life, you will definitely enjoy this one.I've ripped it as a single 40 minute mp3, here's the setlist:
- Wise To Da Game
- Loose Wit Da Truth
- Short Fuse
- Where It Begins
- Make It Work
- Crucified (Agnostic Front/Iron Cross)
- Strength Through Unity
- A Bullet For Every Enemy
- Loyal To Tha Grave
- Took My Kindness
- Keepin It Real
- Turning Point
