Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting the 'Hold Your Fire' tour, this meticulously produced live album highlights the Canadian trio's controversial, heavily synthesized late-eighties era. The pristine audio fidelity and complex use of sequencers demonstrate their incredible ability to replicate lush, multi-layered studio arrangements in a live stadium setting.
