    A very ambitious undertaking: a 2 CD, 1 DVD live album attempting to capture the quality of a live Fields of the Nephilim show. Unfortunately, the Nephilim are also notorious for their short concerts, which often last about an hour. Sometimes shorter. It is a shame that some tracks from the concert were omitted in this case.

Unfortunately, the Nephilim are also notorious for their short concerts, which often last about an hour. Sometimes shorter. It is a shame that some tracks from the concert were omitted in this case. Unfortunatley, this includes such favourites as For Her Light, Endemoniada, Dawnrazor, The Watchmen and Last Exit for the Lost.
