IF YOU LIKE THIS, YOU ARE A DIE-HARD FAN

I enjoy Erasure's music, and I've bought quite a few tripe records of theirs in recent years simply to see what they do next. But c'mon, guys, you've got to draw the line somewhere. Union Street was bad enough, but the live show was just a dreadful embarrassment. I've heard junior high school bands play in better time than this tossed-together touring band that clearly would have rather been elsewhere. And these arrangements . . . ugh.

If you must, download a track or two. If you haven't heard enough acoustic versions of Spiraling to last you a life time, the version here is fun. If you buy this album, you are clearly a true-blue, dyed-in-the-wool Erasure fan. Anyone but the utmost completist should take a pass. January 25, 2008

Excellent

We saw this show when it came to San Francisco, fantastic show from a long time favorite band of ours. Great new versions of some classics.
We bought the studio version as well as the import concert from this same show but this CD is the best of the three versions I like both the prior versions but the studio album lacks the energy of a live show and the import live cd from an earlier concert has a weaker vocal performance from Andy. His voice is much stronger on this cd plus this cd has "Breathe" from the Nightbird cd which is not on either prior release. May 30, 2007

Erasure+country?!

It's great to hear Erasure in the non-electronic form. If you liked Union Street you should like this. Great energy in a live concert form. May 18, 2007

excellent erasure!

I didn't expect to find a "live" Erasure cd so great. The more I listem to it, the more I like it. This is a great addition to any Erasure collection. BUY THIS CD!!! May 13, 2007

It's OK.

I really want to like Erasure, but everytime I buy one of their CD's I'm always bored. This is just not an interesting CD. April 25, 2007
