This particular show will be long remembered by those who endured the monsoonal thunderstorm that lit up Sydney that evening. The band’s lead singer reflected saying, "We were really road hardened by the time of that Hordern gig because we'd just finished that big tour a few months prior. Adding a few new songs in the set for those launch gigs kept things fresh for us. Listening and watching it back, it's raw and primal, warts and all - like the best rock & roll should be."^[2]

Reviews

Chris Familton of The Music gave the album 4 out of 5 saying; "This is a great (and great sounding) addition to their catalogue that serves a number of purposes – a hits package, a sign that they are still alive and kicking as a band and a reminder of what a dynamic and visceral live act they remain."^[3]
