Notes

This is the only live video that has ever been officially released by All About Eve.

Rik Carter was ex-Mission. Shortly after this gig he would cease working with All About Eve in not particularly friendly circumstances. As he had (shared) writing credits for a couple of the songs (including "Somebody Said" and "Daisychains") this album is therefore the only place that these songs are ever likely to be issued.

The issue of sound quality has caused some controversy on this album. It is an ordinary stereo track that was recorded straight from the mixing desk at the gig. As such this album sounds far more "live" than most live albums, which has led to some reviewers (including Allmusic) saying that it sounds like a Bootleg recording. Another school of thought, however, is that - with a suitably powerful amplifier - it sounds like you are actually there - and is therefore better than most other live recordings.
