This CD of Van Ronk's last concert, given right after he was diagnosed with cancer, captures the essence of a true national treasure. 14 Songs take up alot of the 79 plus minutes and they are wonderful. Nearly half the cd, though, are the amazing anecdotes he offers up to give depth to the music as well as a peek into an incredible life. If I could come back as any musician, living or dead, it would be as Dave Van Ronk at this concert.

This album is really good. It has a nice blend of hardcore, punk, ska, and some pop-ska. This one is a must buy.

After going to the store to purchase a copy of the new Suicide Machines CD "a match and some gasoline" and popping it in my CD player I was extremely dispointed. The CD lacked the heart great tunes of the earlier albums ("destruction by definition"). While the lyrics might be more meaningful and thought provoking then the previous CD's the CD falls way short of a great ska/punk album. Don't get me wrong, this CD is definatly worth a buy, but I would suggest picking up some of there earlier stuff.

The Machines have done it again; this CD rocks and if you don't own a copy you need to buy one. Easily one of the finest works by these Detroit, MI based rockers.

BOOOOORING!!!! It's true, A Match & Some Gasoline should've been used to destroy this album and the master tapes. I've been a Suicide Machines fan since day one and this new release is beyond terrible. Sure, the lyrics are great as usual, but that's not enough. The music has no hooks and nothing to pump your fists to. I was so bored listening to this cd. 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back--BOO-YA!!!!

This album blows my mind everytime I listen to it. The Suicide Machines have finally made an album comparing to "Destruction By Definition". It's incredible. All the energy which put The Suicide Machines on my top bands list has been recaptured and I'm incredibly pleased with "A Match and Some Gasoline". This is The Suicide Machines to the bone. Nothing like it.
