The CD that signaled PUR's breakthrough is still a classic

"PUR, now Germany's most popular band, had originally never planned on releasing a live album, but by 1992 their audience's calls for one became too loud to be ignored and PUR Live was recorded during a Germany-wide tour.From older pieces like "Drachen sollen fliegen" and "Fallen" to the songs that even relatively new PUR fans know by heart ("Lena" or "Ohne Dich"), the band exemplifies its talents and hard work by producing stupendous songs live and without the benefit of a high-tech studio.PUR Live became the band's most successful CD only weeks after its release. Now aware of the band and its quality music and lyrics, audiences in Germany and elsewhere have since then turned all of PUR's CDs into record setting ones."
