"This is Marillion's second live album, the first one being 'The thieving magpie' back when Fish was still in the band. This is their first one with h (Steve Hogarth) on vocals (followed a few years later by 'Anorak in the UK').This 2 CD collection is a combination of three different concerts, on done in 1991 from the 'Holidays in Eden' tour, from which Splintering heart, Easter, No one can, Waiting to happen, Cover my eyes and The space were taken; another from 1994, from the 'Brave' tour. The whole album is present live in the second CD. And finally, a concert from 1995, from the 'Afraid of sunlight' tour, from which Hooks in you, Beautiful, Kayleigh, Lavender, Afraid of sunlight and King were recorded.It is without a doubt a gret testament to what the band can do when performing live. You must remember that these are songs of some complexity, yet the lads play perfectly, giving them new strength and passion.There's also a 'Brave live 2002' CD being sold at marillion.com. If you like this here CD, you should get the newer version and compare them...it's really worth it to hear how they've changed and grown in six years..."
