Live+1 is a 1988 EP by American hard rock band Frehley's Comet. It was meant to serve as a stopgap until the release of the group's second studio album, Second Sighting. The first four songs were recorded live at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on September 4, 1987. The last song, "Words Are Not Enough", is a shorter version of a demo recording the group made in 1985.

Contemporary reviews

[edit]

In the May 1988 issue of Circus magazine, music critic Paul Gallotta reviewed the hybrid live-studio release, describing it as a well-crafted stopgap measure designed to satisfy the frontman's fanbase during the preparation of his next full-length project. The publication noted that the tracklist featured four concert recordings—including a powerful cover version of Kiss's "Rocket Ride"—alongside a newly recorded studio track, "Words Are Not Enough." Gallotta observed that the overall material delivered exactly what audiences anticipated from the musician, characterizing it as solid, accessible hard rock. Furthermore, the reviewer highlighted the new studio composition as a significant surprise, arguing that its infectious commercial appeal possessed the potential to secure a position on the singles charts.[3]
