EXTREME is releasing their Take Us Alive live CD and DVD on Frontiers Records world-wide April 23rd in Europe and May 4th In USA. In 2008, following a 13 year hiatus, the band returned to the stage for their ‘Take Us Alive’ world tour, which encompassed 75 cities and multiple continents in support of their new and groundbreaking record, Saudades de Rock.

According to a press release, this recording captures Extreme at the peak of their game with a renewed enthusiasm led by Gary Cherone’s spellbinding stage performance and powerful vocals, Nuno Bettencourt’s ferocious guitar, Pat Badger’s flawless bass and Kevin Figueiredo’s pounding drums not to mention the Extreme trademark, spot on, back up vocals.

This brilliant performance was recorded on the last night of their tour at the House of Blues August 8, 2009 in Extreme’s hometown of Boston, MA .

“We wanted to do something really special for our hometown fans that were there for us since the beginning… the club days,” states Nuno. “It was the last night of the tour and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by bringing it back to where it all started… Boston.”

The concert showcases material from all five Extreme albums and exhibits the bands broad stylistic abilities. Features include a blistering rendition of the ZEPPELIN-minded 'Comfortably Dumb', the scorching 'Play With Me', the funked-up 'Cupid’s Dead' as well as the anthemic 'Get The Funk Out'. Songs like their #1 hit 'More Than Words' and the top 5 'Hole Hearted', highlight the crowds enthusiasm and loyal support their fan base has had for this beloved foursome.

“As much as we enjoy recording, for me, I’ve always loved playing live for the fans,” Cherone says. “We couldn’t wait to get out there and play for our fans.”

The DVD will contain four unreleased bonus videos from their latest record Saudades de Rock. Videos include the songs 'King Of The Ladies', 'Interface', 'Run' and 'Ghost'. The videos were produced by Nuno Bettencourt.

“This DVD/CD is a culmination of all the years we played together and the chemistry the four of us put out live,” explains Bettencourt.
