Never mind the tattle in the press, the live show proves that the rumors are true. The music speaks for itself. The Gossip is the real deal.

UrbThis live album may provide an aperitif for those who've never seen the band perform. [May/June 2008, p.93]
-
The live format suits Gossip well.
-
It's intriguing that Live in Liverpool is the Gossip's first release for Columbia's Red Ink imprint--it's not exactly an ideal introduction to the Gossip's fiery music, but it is a great testament to why fans are so devoted to the band.

Recorded in July of last year, Live in Liverpool is an unpolished document of The Gossip’s raw power.
-
It highlights their strengths (that voice, those beats, that authentic giving-it-their-all vibe) and hides their weaknesses (lack of songwriting breadth and dynamic diversity) making it sound like there's no place more fun than a Gossip concert, and no better host than Beth Ditto.
