All my musical heroes were great live performers. When I joined Black Flag, it was pounded into my head that the live show demands your best. We worked very hard in the practice room getting it together so there would be no "warm up" show. We went out there and wrecked it nightly.

The Rollins Band always prided themselves in being a top shelf live unit.

Andrew, Sim, Chris, Melvin, Theo took all this very seriously and they all delivered magnificently and consistently.

The commitment level to the live show had not diminished in our camp.

Pre-tour practice goes for about a month in a small room with no air conditioning. This tempers the stamina, getting us ready for the usual high quantity of low quality air and overabundance of heat, which is our usual low-ceilinged playing environment. By the time we get out there, we're not wondering if we can do it - we're wondering how you're going to keep up with us.

On the festival circuit and the occasional corny outdoor multi-band radio-sponsored charades, we open for many contemporary, multi-platinum, much lauded groups and we keep seeing the same thing. A lot of these bands can't cut it live. What an insult to a paying audience.

About the making of this record:
We chose to record in Chicago for a couple of reasons. I really like the Metro as a venue. I did my first show there in 1982, I believe. The Chicago audience is 100% full-on. We brought out Clif Norrell to record. He has recorded and mixed this band for several years now.

We taped analog and mixed analog. There were no overdubs made. A special thanks to Mike Curtis for helping us get such great guitar sounds onstage and in the studio.

We would like to thank you, our audience as our existence as a touring band depends entirely upon you.

It's my opinion that the best way to experience the Rollins Band is live, but a good recording of a live show is a close second. THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE gives you nearly two hours of a live performance that conveys some of the band's intensity. The setlist is mostly made up of material recorded by this band lineup, with songs from GET SOME GO AGAIN and nice, and their companion discs YELLOW BLUES and A NICER SHADE OF RED. There are a few favourites from the older days thrown in for variety. The intensity builds as the performance goes on, and I can imagine the crowd getting more and more into it as this happens. My only beef with this release is the mix: While you can hear all elements of the band quite clearly, to me it sounds a little antiseptic, lacking in some of the ambient sound and sense of space I like in a live recording.

As an added bonus, disc two features QuickTime .mov files of the GET SOME GO AGAIN, ILLUMINATION, and Your Number Is One videos, along with some images. All in all, if you like the Rollins Band live, this is well worth the listen.
