Faith No More

Recorded during Faith No More's 1990 tour of England in support of their breakthrough album The Real Thing, this live release is an obvious cash in, basically replicating the recordings used for the band's first video release, You Fat Bastards. There's nothing necessarily wrong with it, mind you, but strange song sequencing and it's over-dependence on songs from the aforementioned record render it pointless except for fanatics interested in the two studio tracks, "The Grade" and "The Cowboy Song." As for the live material, the band shines on Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" and their own "The Real Thing." It is also amusing to hear singer Mike Patton ad lib lines from Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam" at the end of their hit "Epic." ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
