  1. A welcome snapshot, for it is that, of the Brakes live experience, in which there is absolutely no padding, total passion and commitment, and the odd wistful aside away from the bluster.
  2. 'Pick Up The Phone' and 'Hi How Are You' are amusing bursts of irritation, but 'I Can't Stand To Stand Beside You' and 'What's In It For Me' stand out, lost classics that could have snuck on to The Who's 'Live At Leeds' (well, almost).
  3. The already apparent holes in some of the Brakes' tunes, which at their worst can seem little more than a stutter from Hamilton and a steady scrape from the band, do pop up occasionally; then again, they rarely overstay their welcome, as Dodelijk sneaks 20 tunes into just shy of 45 minutes, and in a way even help the good stuff kick harder in contrast.
