A neat cross-section of Henry Cow live performances, featuring a mix of improvisational and composed tracks. Some of the material from the likes of Unrest and In Praise of Learning is somewhat more approachable in the live context than in the cold, stark presentation they received on the studio albums, so those beginning to explore Henry Cow's RIO output might want to start here. Earlier CD editions of the album have somewhat shaky sound quality, but more recent two-disc rereleases tune things up appreciably, and also include the side of music that Henry Cow recorded for the Greasy Truckers gig - or rather, rerecorded after the Greasy Truckers gig, due to a power failure eating their original rendition of the set.
