5 stars If you are an IQ fan, there is a multitude of music on disc but precious little filmed. Filmed at the 013, in Tilburg, the Netherlands, this show is a brilliant testimony to the band's live performance. The setlist is great and you get a full theatrical performace of "The Enemy Smacks"; this is worth the price of the live box itself. The box comes with the full live show on CD as well as on VHS as well as with a full color booklet of stills from the show. The Forever Live Box is a must for any fan of IQ. It's highly recommended.

5 stars I got this box when a friend had put his rare video's on dvd, he was one of the first who was able to do that. This music on this box-set has a special value for me because for me this was the return of the genuine neo-progrock masters IQ (I was not really pleased with "Nomzamo" and "Are you sitting comforably?") and I got the opportunity to see their "Forever Live-tour". Not every song was my cup of tea but the magic had returned and live IQ was amazing, what a great performance by all the members: the fiery and distinctive guitarplay from Mike Holmes, the warm and sensational sounds from Martin Offord with his range of keyboards and the 'stage antics' from Pete Nicholls, at some moments evoking Peter Gabriel (the act with the red cloath and the white mask is stunning). THIS IS ESSENTIAL NEO-PROG!!
