I've yet to buy this and I'm not sure I ever will. I've never been fond of live albums as they're ultimately just inferior, much rougher sounding versions of the studio tracks in many ways.

I'd say the Concrete versions of Left to my own devices, It's alright and It's a sin are better than the original recordings.

The way it was performed and recorded in a proper professional auditorium, makes it about the best recording of any live event you will ever hear.

:D

Save your money. I feel much the same as you regarding live recordings. However, being a hard core PSBs fan, I got this in the hopes that if anyone could make me like a live CD it would be the Boys.

But it was not to be. The versions on here are inferior to the studio tracks. I will say that "It's a sin " is better than i thought it would be. But still not as good as studio versions.

Buy Cubism, It's in 5.1 and that will be great to hear :dance: . Plus most of the regular live shows are prerecorded and as such come much closer to the perfection of the boy's studio tracks!
