As far as quality, sound, song selection, energy, etc., I had to go with Anorak (especially the 2CD Racket version). The fellas were spot on with this performance. I know Fish fans will go with the first two; however, Anorak really is a quality release.

ps. I put 'other' because of the FRC. A few are just as good as the official releases (especially the London Forum, Lausanne, and Sao Paulo recordings).

Made Again, although I havent seen Anorak Live In The U.K. so I wont vote.
Into this wild Abyss the fiend
Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while,
Pondering his Voyage.

If you like and appreciate the Hogarth era, I highly recommend it! The quality is top notch and so much better than their other live releases. The version of "Quartz" and "Mad" are worth it alone.

I haven't heard The Thieving Magpie, so I voted for Real to Reel.

The Thieving Magpie is OK. R2R was overdubbed like crazy, however. It's practically a studio album.

Made Again is good. I only wish the track listing took more chances on the first disc. Still, having Brave Live for the second disc was a brilliant move.

<<I'll pick it up then.>>

If you can, order the 2 disc from Racket rather than the 1 CD retail version. The only song that the 1CD version has that's not on the 2CD version is "Easter". Great song, but it's on Made Again and practically every FRC release.

I really can't make up my mind between Real to Reel and Made Again, it's a crazy choice to make because both of them contain my favorite H-era and Fish-era albums as a second disc! Tough choice! Plus I haven't heard Anorak Live so I won't vote.

That's too bad because Anorak is a great live disc. So much energy..

I had to vote for ANORAK though REEL TO REEL is coming close to it ( this said by a Fan rather of the H-aera ! ).
