SPECIAL MOVES

Taking into account Mogwai brevity on their live album selection, this is naturally the best candidate you can get. I've been to a few different post-rock band concerts and my attention depended on the material quality and intensity. I value dynamic atmospheric concerts a lot, especially the more ominous pieces. Mogwai has enough of them in their repertoire after their 2006 and 2008 albums (and their first one, too) so they can offer a compelling walk in the park (a rather dark one ;-)) This is not to say that mellow highlights like "Friend of the night" are omitted as well as other more reflective pieces "I Know You Are But What Am I". Playing is focused and very well carried out, the sound is excellent. You may miss a more lively atmosphere but personally, it doesn't distract from the atmosphere and listening experience. This live albums should please an overwhelming majority of Mogwai fans.
