Almost perfect

I think this albus is awesome!!!
I'd only complain about the setlist... all the songs here are just great!! but where is There is a light that never goes out? I also would have like to hear a live version of shelia take a bow. I recomend this to everyone!

I know it's Over

And you will too when you listen the this CD. Not that it's that bad, it's just a let down, a big let down. The band is sloppy, too fast, and Morrissey vocals are openly over the top playing off on some derivative of his former self. Almost as if he could care less of what is now just all a big joke. Maybe I'm being too rough but that is what it seems like! Clearly the band final days were felt. All songs are inferior to the studio versions. This opposed to Hatful of Hollow which blew the studio versions away in many cases.

Solid if inessential live album

While live Smiths was usually awesome to listen to, this album, recorded during the end of the last tour the Smiths ever undertook, while good, isn't essential except to diehard Smiths fans. The performances are good and interesting, but it's not their most inspired performance, although it was one of the better ones from the end of the tour. However, I read somewhere that the band initially wanted it released as a 2CD set to include the whole concert, while Morrissey crypitcally refused and instead compiled this 1CD set that was released. Knowing Morrissey, I guess we'll never know why he did that, as the complete show would have been a treat.
