There is a difference between listening to Mogwai on a recorded album and seeing them live. The studio versions of the songs shine in their subtlety, quality of writing and musicianship, and all of the other things we know the band does well.

When you see them live though, it is far more of a full body experience, and sometimes for fans, an out of body one as well. Whether your spirit leaves your physical being or not during their performances, your ears will ring. So always bring and use earplugs.

This recording, if played loudly enough with the right equipment, starts to touch on the audible onslaught that Mogwai creates during a live set. The noise wall not only hits your ear drums, but you can feel it straight from your feet all the way up to the top of your head. There is truly nothing like it. I've been to many live shows and can confidently say that seeing
Mogwai is just different and this lets me feel that at home to a degree.

Bravo to Andrew Fogelsong for capturing this feeling.

Like all of Andrew Fogelsong's work, this is an "A" quality recording.

This show also includes the rare Star Wars.
