Terry you're pretty much describing last years headlining gig in London. One of the best gigs I've attended in 30 years. Pity it wasn't recorded.

They would make a great Firefest headliner.

Cheers

The Japan-only live DVD from 1983 is awesome. That is an essential purchase. The band was at the top of their game. Check it out if you get the chance.

i'd love them to re-record some of their greatest hits as i think they'd sound amazing with todays technology

Yeah-- I really think what fans want is for these guys to to their OWN headline tour. Opening up a show and blowing the competition out is fun, I'm sure. But the fans get cheated as they can only play for 30-40 minutes and then ONLY the hits and maybe one new tune. this band has an incredible new cd out there--perhaps their best ever. Fans want/need to see/hear the band do a full-on tour to promote this grand studio effort they just accomplished. They have the great old tunes they've been playing on tour forever. Now add at LEAST half this new cd to the live set-along with maybe 3-5 older odd tracks,and you've got one awesome total concert experience. These guys are way too good a concert act to not still be out their headlining their own shows! do a casino circuit tour/smaller venues--whatever. They still have the draw--where's their promotions department,anyway? T

Jack knows they need to do one. He raised the possibility of the M3 show being released.

Will get update.

Do you know if they have any plans for a future Electric Live DVD, with more of their recent material?
I'm really looking forward to this album, but would deffinitely like a Live DVD of them in a full electric setting (they have plenty of Live albums already, all in Japan 1990, 1997 and 2007, but no DVD).

DVD of the show is out :)

Right on,Figge! NR are a prime example of a band who have the musical integrity/chops to pull this off and make a worthwhile purchase out of it. I'd still personally love a dvd of this show,tho. Cheers, T

I've just listened to this album (again) and I still feel the song choices could've been better (for my taste) and I somewhat agree with those saying it would be a better idea to release a full live electric show on both DVD/Blu-Ray and on CD . . . .but, F**K some of those songs sound fantastic!

I pushed the << button immediately after hearing both Four In The Morning and Don't Tell Me You Love Me.

It's pretty rare, but sometimes these kind of live acoustic versions bring more life and vitality to songs. Makes them even better.
