Maybe you should, I love it. And if you can check the DVD "Reunion Live in Tokio", Holdsworth is not there anymore and was replaced by Alex Machazek but it's a terrific concert.

I don't have a copy of this album, but as a result of this thread, I am now listening to it on Youtube, AND IT IS MY VERY FIRST TIME LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM, and I must say I'm liking it. Among other things, apart from KC, I'm hearing touches of Zappa. And for Cardiacs fans I can hear where some influences for Jon Poole's Ad Nauseum came from. Little touches of Mike Batt in there too. I've only got the Night After Night live album (on vinyl), which I must admit I haven't listened to more than 2 or 3 times. Maybe I should dig it out again.

Night After Night is rather weak compared to the 2 studio albums.

I can't remember a single thing about it, but I figured it would be weak, in my experience most live albums are weaker than studio albums.

I saw UK back in their prime at a small club in Boston when I was going to school there. I sat at a small high-top bar immediately adjacent to the stage -- right over Holdsworth's shoulder. He was smoking cigarettes, and after one or two puffs during lulls in his guitar playing, he would wedge the cigarette butt between the strings and neck up around the tuners where it would slowly burn itself out. Next lull in the guitar action, he would light up again and repeat the sequence over and over until he ran out of matches. I was a smoker, too, so I gave him a spare book of matches. I felt like I was on stage. I could literally reach out and tap him on the head if I so dared! Many years later, I saw UK again on Cruise to the Edge 2014 with Wetton and Jobson. It was so exciting to hear them rip through those old tunes live (from both albums). Truly one of the best supergroups ever formed. I enjoy both incarnations of UK, with a slight edge to the original.
