1.0 out of 5 stars Inexplicably Bad Versions Of Great Songs, September 30, 1999

Astonishing. The songs covered here were uniformly wonderful in their studio versions, 801 was a very good band, & Manzanera is one of the best, most versatile guitar stylists. But this should never have been released. Trust me on this -- I love these guys, & I couldn't listen to this disc more than twice before getting rid of it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Get 801:Live Instead, April 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Live at Manchester University (Audio CD)

The previous reviewer obviously confused this disc with the original 801:Live (ASIN: B000003S0W), which is one of the great performances of the 70s. This disc, however, should not have been released. Only the true Phil Manzanera afficionado would want this if only to have every version of "Diamond Head" ever recorded. Otherwise, skip it. Get the original 801:Live for "Tomorrow Never Knows," "Miss Shapiro," and the definitive "Diamond Head." Get any Roxy Music recording of "Out of the Blue." This one is unlistenable. Get a Kinks (or Van Halen) album if you want "You Really Got Me."

1.0 out of 5 stars Original much better!, May 21, 2006

original much , really much, really,... very much better!

And to; What, no headphones, if you're still listening. I always took it for granted, 801 was the spin ratio of a wheel. 8 to 1, as in "true wheel" from, Eno's 1974 "Taking Tiger Mountain
". Although I could be wrong.
