Live albums are an acquired taste and not one that I've particularly acquired and my feelings of disinterest grow when half the 10 songs on the record of Steve's 1994 tour were on his 'Squint' classic. But if you caught the perpetual-motion-machine in concert and want a momenta here 'tis. The best cuts to my ear are the mean and moody revival of "On The Fritz" (much better than the original album version with grunge guitars replacing the synths) and a frantically speeded up version of "I Want To Be A Clone". Plus the opening sounds with all the intros naming the cities visited scrambled into a head-spinning collage is the kind of thing only Christendom's clown prince would think of.
