Faith No More recorded this during the tour to support their 3rd album The Real Thing. Although this record is heavily reliant on tracks from that album, the actual set list that night was more diverse. So looking back over their discography and noting that this is their only live album, it's a shame they haven't yet released it in full. However, the energy on this live recording really holds true to what the band offer as a live act, and the cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" is brilliant. If you want a more accurate feel for a Faith No More live show, seek out some of the live video recordings from this show as Mike Patton climbs the lighting up to the rafters and the whole band putting every bit of energy they have into their performance. The quality of the album is great too.
