Summary
The CD of the movie you might call it. In view of the fact that the label
has MOB instead of PEND implies that this might be an official bootleg.
Anways, instead of the video you might get this CD that contains a subset
of the songs on the video, making you miss the intro, March of the Torreodores,
The Last Man on Earth, Nostradamus and Breaking the Spell. This is not strange
since the last three tracks are available on Utrecht...the final frontier.
The music
Although you can also read some info in the video review, I'd like to note
that the versions of the songs here do not differ much from the original
ones and there's also not much difference in length. Still, the sound is
less polished as one would expect from live albums inserting a drum solo
and guitar solo here and there, but keeping the music intact, the quality
of which is beyond any doubt and that manages to captivate as ever. But
it can do that on the studio albums as well.
There is some 'new' music on this album: it arises when Nick invites the
Polish people to sing something in Polish.
Conclusion
See above.
