Subject: Good lord...what is this? I've spent the last 10 years listening to a strict diet of Grateful Dead here on the Archive. Pretty much every day. But I have just listened to what might just be some of the most moving music I've ever heard. WOWZA! - February 11, 2017Good lord...what is this?

Subject: I have to agree with the previous reviewer This recording is by far my favorite piece of Mogwai music, bar none.

Killer quality recording and superb performance.

If you don't have it, get it...nuff said. - August 18, 2015I have to agree with the previous reviewer

Subject: Superb soundboard recording - probably better than the official live album This is by far the best quality of any Mogwai gig recording I have heard. The sound it pretty much crystal clear even in the most noisy and saturated passages, that often get lost in 'mush' on other recordings. There's plenty of dynamic range, and being a soundboard recording there's no annoying audience chatter. Not necessarily my favourite set list (too many 'songs' among the tunes for my liking) but there are some of their best numbers here. - August 17, 2015Superb soundboard recording - probably better than the official live album

Subject: perfect perfect - this is really as close as I've heard from just about any bootleg. I agree with the above that they could release this, but they should at least point fans to it here on the IA. I'd recommend this to long time fans as well as for those just wanting to discover why Mogwai has the rabid following that they have. I've always had a special love for recorded live shows, and this is a perfect example of why.



From the intro to the chaos of "My Father, My King", this is a glorious piece of music. - May 4, 2009perfect

Subject: Uh, is this even possible? I listen to more live recordings than studio albums for bands that I listen to most. I must say that this is definitely the best sound quality I've heard on the archive, and if the band or Matador heard this, they must be tempted to release it as an official live boot. Amazing, amazing sound, ridiculously clear and real-sounding. Holy fuck, man. This is a Mogwai fan's dream cum true. And, whoever recorded this caught them on one of the best setlists of the Mr. Beast tour - we have here wonderful versions of "Long Way," "Helicon 1," "Jesus," not to mention MFMK which only appeared on like ten setlists out of 118 on this tour. AN ABSOLUTE GEM. INSURMOUNTABLE IN GREATNESS!! - December 9, 2007Uh, is this even possible?

Subject: live album quality This is a fantastic quality sound. Mogwai could easily use it for a live disc if they so chose, it is that good. Not to mention the quality performance of the band which is awesome! Easily one of the best shows on the archive, a MUST for any fan. - October 10, 2007live album quality

Reviewer: chromakode - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - April 28, 2007

Subject: Must-have As the other reviewers have said, this is an intense concert recording -- if not the best I've ever heard here on archive.org . The sound is really balanced, and the soundboard + remastering sound crystal clear. Mogwai's performance is wonderful here, and the high sound quality is just icing on the cake. Amazing!! - April 28, 2007Must-have

Subject: :OOOOOOOOOOOOO MY LORD this is a beautiful remaster ... this could pass as a studio album ... i love Mogwai, and this is the best fucking show i've heard posted here. GET THIS if you give a shit about Mogwai at all. After listening ... you sure as hell will.



Thank you to those who made this remaster possible! - February 20, 2007:OOOOOOOOOOOOO

Track 11, however, is mislabeled. It's 'Travel Is Dangerous', not 'Travels In Constants'. - January 8, 2007Top notch
