A decent collector's item...

"and as the only full-length live release from their original lifespan, the album virtually recommends itself. However, it should be noted that Julianne's vocal performance is inconsistent - she seems out-of-breath, missing a lot of notes.Apart from a very atmospheric mix with plenty of audience response, the main points of interest are the alternate versions of less-familiar second-album tracks (`Road...' and `Only One Reason' turn out best) and favorite b-sides (though `Paradise' is the 1989 arrangement, requiring a backing tape).The highlight though is the set-closer - not only is this version of `In The Meadow' a chorus or two longer than usual, it's the most explosively energetic take on any official release - with the rhythm section finally letting off steam after all those slow songs, Tim puts a lot more effort into the solo than on either the `album' or `b-side' versions. Recommended for this track alone."
