"Of all the Gary Numan live albums, this has the best sound quality. By this I mean audiophile quality. You can take this CD to hi-fi stores when you want to test speakers or amplifiers. For those of us with refined tastes, this is a great choice."

"Of a 1989 concert.Not the complete show.Excellent sound and versions of the songs.Only drawback is that if you already own the ¨In Concert ¨ DVD, (which is also made up of highlights) half of the songs are the same,so get it if you find it ultra cheap only.For Numan completists.If you want a complete show from about the same era (87),go for the double ¨GHOST: EXHIBITION TOUR¨,or better yet get the DVD of this one,which,by the way,is originally entitled as the cd ¨The Skin Mechanic¨,my all time Numan fav DVD,and the poppiest for that matter."
This isn't music, this is survival

"This is possibly the least of all Gary Numan's live offerings. The four live versions of tracks from the 'Metal Rhythm' studio album (released just before this) don't sound particularly strong, oddly enough. Numan fluffs his lines occasionally and seems strangely unmoved by the experience. However, all is not lost. There are good versions of the old standards and a brilliant version of 'Call out the Dogs'. However, a little more imagination and a wider cross-section from the selected songs would have been nice. For the complete live Gary Numan experience, grab hold of 'Dream Corrosion'."
