Flawed, yet interesting, 26 April 2001

By A Customer

Something of a wasted opportunity to showcase Ultravox's undoubted abilities as a live act, this CD is a less than complete (even in its later extended release) document of what they were like around the Quartet time in 1982. The sound quality is adequate but hardly dynamic (compare, for example, Simple Minds or Gary Numan live recordings from this time). Midge Ure's guitar playing is superb, particularly on the solo at the end of Passing Strangers, although he doesn't improvise at all - it's almost note-for-note the same as on the earlier, BBC recording from the Vienna time two years previously. The use of the Messengers duo to fill out the sound with keys and vocals helps a great deal. Why couldn't they release the entire concert? And why the bland Monument instrumental at the beginning?

Do not file under pop, 7 Mar 2008

By	Mrs. T. J. Bailey "Beardo" (UK) - See all my reviews

This was one of the first live albums I heard as a kid at the tender age of 11 so I am biased - amazing drums and bass. Just rediscovered it.

Must admit I've not heard any of the other Ultravox albums in full as I'm stuck on this one.

'The Voice' is outstanding and over 20 years on (where has the time gone??) and in my opinion ends with the best drum solo ever.

'Vienna' is a classic but check out the synths on 'Monument' and vocals on 'Reap the Wild Wind.'

'Hymn' is a stand-out track and really stands the test of time.
