DIY is a total standout here- and presents a snippet of the second album live- along with ON THE AIR- which we are unlikely to hear LIVE again from the great man.......

I THINK NEARLY ALL THE SONGS ARE PRESENTED DIFFERENTLY HERE- compared to the studio recordings and nearly all of them are better for that- apart from NO SELF CONTROL and possibly BIKO- which are still at least interesting in a completely different style- the former and possibly more emotional- biko

PGs voice is superb throughout and h NOT ONE OF US, I DONT REMEMBER, INTRUDER AND MONKEY- are all superb on here.........

AND Gabriels detached inbetween banter? is brilliantly self detached and ironic- harking back to his gabble ratchet dayze..... 'the title of this- i don't remember', 'THIS SONG IS FOR THOSE WHO KEEP THEMSELVES CLEAN'- i go swimming- etc....

THIS IS AN ASTOUNDING ALBUM AND IS THE ALBUM I fell in love with and grew up with nearly 23 years ago-

secret world is poor in comparison..........

This album lacks all the qualities of a great "live" album: the interaction with the crowd is non-existent; the sound is muddy (incredibly this is even after overdubs!); the tinny 80s drum sound dominates, (you can barely hear anything else) and some of the track choices are poor.

Classics like Biko and Family Snapshot are greatly inferior to the album versions, and others like DIY are risible. Avoid and stick with the studio versions.
