[From booklet:]
Nothing at all has been re-recorded or overdubbed on this live album, just two or three sound FX added to help with the atmosphere. On the first disc the track, Never Be Mine, is the only take that exists, and was recorded when the show was being filmed without an audience. It was cut because the show was too long but is now back in its original position. Everything else runs as was, with only a few edits to help the flow of the music.

In loving memory of Ian Newton

    I've had problems with CD's. When putting them back in the central dowel, I've had the CD's cracked near the centre. I had to bring it back to the store, they accepted on replacing the item. Now the problem again, yet fortunately CD's not fatally broken. Beware when handling these !

      Gotta agree with Guill. In the age of video, why in the hell release an audio-only document when the concerts were filmed? Another disappointing decision from Kate.

        Along with getting married, having kids, travelling the world......seeing Kate Bush live was definitely a life highlight!!!!! This album captures [as best you can without actually being there] the live experience which is Kate Bush and co..... I shuffling out of the Hammersmith Apollo in total quietness with the rest of the audience who like me were in a state of total astonishment and wonderment of what had just happened. This for me is possibly one of the best live albums ever released, I understand there were no re-takes or overdubs which in todays over manufactured world is a rare thing. Well here it is Kate Bush live and direct doing her thing, no need for a DVD as its all about the music and the emotion it brings........amazing!!!

            Total waste of money.A DVD should have been released instead.
