     This release is recorded live performances from 1997 and 1998 in Brussels and Kortrijk. It offers a number of classic Front 242 songs performed live to what sounds like a large amount of devoted Front 242 fans. "Masterhit" is a great tune they captured on this release, dancey as it is, I can imagine the crowd going nuts to this one, or any of the tracts on this release for that matter. You can hear the cheering and whistling of fans in the background on the beginning of Soul Manager, which is a great classic song! I think all of the songs sound different from the original releases, and so they should for a live performance. The sound is pretty good, vocals are clearly heard, and overall it is a great release for those of you who wish to acquire songs from live performances from the Front 242 discography. If you are a fan of Front 242, this belongs in your collection. I believe this European leg of the Euro-USA 1998 tour was the first time that 242 had toured in quite a few years, making it a rather rare addition to your collection.
