Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium documents the last two shows from Rage Against the Machine, recorded in September 2000 for a planned November release, but canceled when the band broke up, and postponed for the second time one year later after three-fourths of the band formed Audioslave with Chris Cornell. Featuring highlights from the two shows, recorded September 12th and 13th, this delayed version of Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium also downplays the cover material that comprised the band's last studio album, Renegades, which is a good thing for the fans who agree that Rage performed better with originals than covers. Early on, the band storms through three of its career highlights -- "Killing in the Name," "Bulls on Parade," and "Bullet in the Head" -- with intense performances that capture its combination of heavy metal strut and punk rock disdain. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Notes
On September 12th and 13th 2000, Rage Against The Machine performed their last two shows ever as a band. On those two nights, Rage proved once again that they were, without a doubt, one of the greatest rock bands to ever hit the stage. Thankfully, a camera crew and a sound crew were on hand to capture both nights. And now, at long last, comes the release of the CD, Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium, produced by Rick Rubin.
The CD, in stores November 25, 2003, features a combination of songs from both nights. The single-disc cd features all of the Rage hits, including "Killing In The Name," "Bulls On Parade," "Freedom," "Bombtrack," "Bullet In The Head" and more.
