Nice Add-On

"As an avid TMBG fan, I consider this disk essential. But, much like the Beatles 'Anthology' releases, it's a worthwhile completion of a collection, NOT a great disc to introduce you to TMBG or to add to the 1 or 2 other discs you own. 'Dr. Worm' is priceless, but the live material is, well... live. Everything on here is also on 'Severe Tire Damage' which has additional tracks, so consider grabbing it instead."

Why is this here?

"Why did they make this album? Severe Tire Damage, their other live album, is much better. This is basically Severe Tire Damage with 14 of the songs missing! This doesn't have the new recordings, About Me, and the new Meet James Esnor. (The new version is funny because they imitate the guitar.) Anyway, for only about 7 dollars more, you can get the whole thing! Don't get this, get Severe Tire Damage.



OK, now for my review for the music. TMBG is a great band, and listening to their live music is fun because it's so different than their album stuff. Istanbul (Which I'm not sure is on this, just on Severe Tire Damage) Has a new jazzy blues begginning and Another First Kiss is very different in the lyrics and is a lot faster and up-beat. 'Til My Head Falls Off and XTC VS. Adam Ant are more rocking. (I'm not sure if any of those are on this either.) But all of these are available on Severe Tire Damage."
