A Morrissey concert in a little box

"This one used to be a real rare find that has surfaced more with each year. The only "official" live recording and a nice one at that. While not by any means one of Mozzer's best nights vocally, paints a good picture of an evening with him. Even a bit of his dry wit comes through between songs. From this night spawned the elusive "Jack the Ripper" which is one of the most provocative and soulful songs ever to leave Morrissey's lips. A well produced offering worth the price of admission."
Superb, the must-buy even for non-Morrissey fans

"Like a lot of Smiths fans I've always found that Morrissey's solo efforts tend to lack a certain punch. This live album makes one wonder if the problem isn't Morrissey's producers - just compare the live version of Sister I'm a Poet with the the recorded one. Morrissey is tremendous live! National Front Disco, We Hate It When etc etc - these songs are better than a lot of Smiths stuff, and the back-up band kicks some serious butt! Buy this album!!"
