Album Notes & Community Reviews
Documenting their first major tours in nearly two decades, this polished recording finds the notoriously studio-bound duo expertly recreating their complex jazz-rock compositions on stage. Supported by a massive, flawless ensemble of session musicians, the setlist heavily updates arrangements of classic deep cuts and radio hits alike. It effectively reintroduced their cynical, high-fidelity aesthetic to a new generation.
