This is a well recorded live album, heavily featuring songs from Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot and closing with The Knife. Unfortunately, the record company decided to limit it to one disc, so fans had to wait 20-some years for a box set to hear the live version of Supper is Ready that should have been on here. Despite that glaring error, this is still one of the great live albums of the 70 I like. Although I do know I am missing quite a bit without getting to see Peter Gabriel in his costumes. The artwork of this album, specifically the vinyl version, features a stream-of-consciousness companion story written by Gabriel, done in a style that only Gabriel could do. So, despite be not a masterpiece, this is really a great live work and represents an indispensable purchase for all lovers of the real good music.
