Recorded live at London's Odeon Theatre Hammersmith and The Apollo in Manchester in 1977 this 2 LP set captures 10cc with a new lineup on tour of their album "Bloody Tourists". The 15 tracks are nicely taken spanning all their albums including my personal favourite "wall street shuffle" from their sheet music album.
10cc were a band way ahead of their times and the world really has not caught up to them still! Albums like "Sheet Music", "How Dare You" and "The original soundtrack" are some of the most clever art-rock ever produced with extra thoughful song structures and complex lyrics.
I think highlight for me on this album is the track "ships dont dissapear in the night (do they?)" which is given an extra bit of space live to explorenand unfold with great results......even Eric Stewart acknowledges this by stating that "this will definitely make the album" ! The other killer bit on the album that hits godly moments is "feel the benefit" which seems to take me into another world everytime.........quirky yes......but still very progressive
