No disrespect to Fallon and his cohorts, but this hardly sounds like ‘No Sleep ’til Hammersmith’, does it? This offering from The Horrible Crowes is quite uniquely pointless, even for the canon of live albums – the band have only ever put out one record, so this is ‘Elsie’ performed in its entirety (plus a couple of covers), but with extra whooping & hollering and Brian Fallon’s awkward between-song banter. Mostly though, they’re great for the superfans, but for the most part, a poor substitute for actually being present at the performance. When live albums bring something different to the table, they stand out from the crowd like when Kurt Cobain bared his soul with an acoustic guitar, or when Metallica performed with an orchestra.
