LIVE FROM LONDON

They virtually played the whole "The Wake" album except Headlong, one of the bests songs by the way, there are some "imperfections" and the vocal parts are not very well executed, Nicholls shows a hughe improvement from his early days in the band and now he manage to capture the listener emotion with his voice, but in those days, he lacked the skill and the melody.....

The first part of the show is full of fresh energy and Awake And Nervous started the whole thing with energy, they only played one song from their debut cassette "Seven Stories Into Eight", and It´s "It All Stops Here", probably one of the best IQ songs in their early days.

The second part is centered in "The Wake" material, well executed, but a bit cold, I missed more energy, more passion in the stage here, anyway, good show.

Overall is an interesting document of how the band started and is good to compare with later shows to check the evolution of this fantastic combo.

Is curious but there are no live documents from the Paul Menel era (1986-1990), would be very interesting......
