Helaas moet ik het doen met Qobuz maar wat zou ik graag deze full cd set in bezit willen hebben. Geeft een uitstekende doorsnee van een band die live zo enorm veel in huis heeft. Fantastische muzikanten, barstensvol energie, uitstekende songs. Ja, hier spreekt een fan. Ben ze jaren uit het oog verloren na de split in 2000 maar wat een geweldige erfenis hebben ze achtergelaten. De sessies aan het begin van hun carrière maken bij mij de meeste indruk omdat ze toen al heel volwassen klonken.

Wát een band, zo jammer dat het tragisch moest aflopen met Stuart Adamson.
