''Live It Up'', released in 1982, was the first live album released by David Johansen as a solo artist. Johansen did release a limited and promotional live album, ''The David Johansen Group Live'' in 1978, but the album was not officially released until 1993. Additionally, by the time ''Live It Up'' was released, various bootlegs of Johansen's first band, the New York Dolls, were being heavily traded (an official live album would eventually be released in 1984). The impact of the New York Dolls, as both an influential band and as a live act, was becoming a legend in the late 70's and early 80's when Johansen was trying to start his solo career. However, his three previous solo albums were not selling as well as expected, therefore, Johansen turned to touring and selling his stage show. On ''Live It Up'', Johansen performs The Foundations' classic, "Build Me Up Buttercup", the Cadets' "Stranded in the Jungle" (which was also covered by the New York Dolls) and an Animals medley, which included "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "It's My Life". The only New York Dolls original song he performs is "Personality Crisis". ==Track listing== #"We Gotta Get Out of This Place/Don't Bring Me Down/It's My Life" (Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil/Carole King, Gerry Goffin/Roger Atkins, Carl D'Errico) (4:23) #"Frenchette" (Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain) (4:53) #"Reach Out (I'll Be There)" (Holland–Dozier–Holland) (3:24) #"Is This What I Get for Loving You" (Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Phil Spector) (3:14) #"Donna" (Johansen) (4:25) #"Build Me Up Buttercup" (Mike d'Abo, Tony Macaulay) (2:43) #"Melody" (Johansen, Robert C.
