Another live review and I could cut and paste many comments from my Tyketto review.

Fans - you know the material - the band are quite sensational musicians, so that's no issue, the songs come from the catalogue of Circus Maximus' releases, leaning heavily on the recent Havoc release.

All that's needed is that all important sonic thumbs up. And I'm happy to give it again. The recording sounds great, the mix is nice and clear and it sounds pretty raw and live to me. And there's no daft audience fading between tracks, this is a concert!

The songs - as complex as they are - these guys really know how to play and it's a joy to listen to them in a live setting.

Great stuff for all CM fans and fans of progressive melodic metal in general.
