Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert

The album was recorded on a Pennsylvania farm, in a studio constructed by the band.[1] It was produced by Brendan O'Brien; the track "Lynne" features strings provided by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones.[9]

Raging Slab had recorded three full albums between its 1989 debut and Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert, but due to record label issues did not release any of them.[10]

In 2005, Dynamite Monster Boogie Concert was ranked number 395 in Rock Hard magazine's book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[11] The Chicago Reader called the album "rife with fragments of the 70s: Lynyrd Skynyrd's southern blues boogie, Blue Oyster Cult's heavy rock hooks, Grand Funk Railroad's braggadocio, ZZ Top's riff-drenched electric blues, Bad Company's pure hard rock."[12] Entertainment Weekly wrote that "the absurdly rocking, two-guitars-plus-slide Slab combines about 85 genres into one stinking heap of divine something-or-other."[3] The Washington Post wrote that "the Slab is a retro-boogie band, enlivened by [Greg] Strzempka's skill with melody and arrangement but utterly predictable in style."[13] Spin praised the album's devotion to funk, writing that "the band harks back to an age when heavy rock had more in common with black proto-funk such as the Meters than with the rhythmic regimentation of today's metal."[14]
