Customer Reviews
criminally overlooked
One can argue with the song selection on his recent greatest hits compilation, but the songs chosen for this live effort all hit the mark. Paul Kelly is undoubtedly the most negligently overlooked Australian artist there is. Alternatively acoustic and then some great guitar based interpretations of well chosen, sensational studio songs - this warrants repeated listenings. It is the Kelly album that I nominate when anybody asks where to start on this artist. Standout tracks are Dumb Things and When I First Met Your Ma. As a group of songs, this is also the best live album I own period, the closest being early Neil Young.

A must have
It captures the spirit of his live performances, at the peak of his career, and features extraordinary performances of 'Just Like Animals', 'Pouring Petrol On A Burning Man' and the heartbreaking 'Maralinga'. This is Paul Kelly at his very best.

It probably helps to have heard the originals of some of the songs on this album such as 'To Her Door', as he varies them a bit in these live versions, but if you're already a P. K. fan then this is - absolutely - his best album. We have over 4,000 CDs at home, and this is easily our most-played CD.

The secret is out
This is Paul at his best---funny (Dumb Things), tongue-in-cheek (God's Hotel) and socially conscious (Maralinga). Run, don't walk, and buy this CD. Pouring Petrol on a Burning Man has a groove you won't soon forget. "Under the Sun" is my favorite Paul Kelly album, and many of its songs are reworked here to great success. Actually the best live CD I own.
