Recorded live in concert (Feb 16th, 2002 Germany) from the personal soundboard archives of the band, IQ's 20 is an essential acquisition. This 2 CD package is from the "The Seventh House" tour and contains many of IQ's great songs including a stunning opening into "Awake & Nervous", a great version of "The Wrong Side Of Weird" and a haunting beautiful version of "The Last Human Gateway". With this version of the "The Last Human Gateway" I now do not need IQ to rush to "re-do" the first album. As an encore they perform "Subterranea" which brings a wonderful evening and concert to a close. The only negative thing I can say here is that the CD is all but over too soon... This Cd package comes as a limited edition and is packaged in a cardboard album styled CD sleeve. Packaging is minimal but the music is the key.
