This recording captures the band's June 2005 performance in Manchester, UK, sourced from high-quality DAT audio. Although they have not released any new studio material since their 1990 reunion album, the setlist features numerous new songs that incorporate the essence of Verlaine's improvisational solo work. It showcases a unique, cutting-edge guitar sound that reflects the band at the peak of their maturity—an essential listen for fans. Please note, however, that the final track, "Marquee Moon," is incomplete and cuts off before the end.
Great sounding audience recording capturing both shows with the band in excellent form
Great sounding audience recording capturing both shows with the band in excellent form. Particularly John Scofield and Al Foster. The great Bob Berg had taken over the saxophone chair. Excellent performances of What it Is,Hopscotch/Star on Cicely, and Jean Pierre.
