The setlist is made up of 16 tracks and these are drawn from the latest four albums of the band, The Underfall Yard, English Electric, Folklore and Grimspound.[1] The release of the 2 CD album was preceded by a single of the track "Swan Hunter" a few days before the full live album.[2]
Reaction
The three scheduled shows again sold out.[1]
The review rather effusively states that the shows and recording is
full of brilliant photos, a perfect setlist and spectacular sound[1]
