3.0 out of 5 stars Pere Ubu - 'Apocalypse Now' (Thirsty Ear), September 30, 2004

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Since I've heard a few people here and there rant and rave about Pere Ubu,I thought maybe it'd be good to check the band out for myself.'Apocalypse Now' is a fourteen track disc that was recorded live at a small club,Shuba's in Chicago in front of a VERY enthusiastic crowd that took place on December 7,1991.Tunes that I dug the most were the somewhat humorous "Spontaneous Simultude",the well written "Wine Dark Sparks","Worlds In Collision" and "Non Alignment Pact".What makes Pere Ubu so specail?David Thomas's fine vocals,the stellar acoustic guitar playing and their use of a slightly out-of-tune piano.One thing for sure,'Apocalypse Now' SURE has that feel-like-you're-there vibe to it.See for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never underestimate Pere Ubu !, January 18, 2000

By	John A. Harwood (The big ATL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a marvelous piece of work. It is my experience that 99.9% of all live albums are miserable, so this recording is all the more remarkable. David Thomas shines in this performance. While the cover of Iggy Pop's "I Wanna be your Dog" is a pleasant surprise, the pieces de resistance are the "Modern Dance" selections. This is a must buy for all Pere Ubu fans. After listening, truly you will wish you were there...

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice live set from the pop years, December 17, 1999

By	J.J. Langr (United States) - See all my reviews

Taken from what I think they called "The Kindness of Strangers" tour in 1991 (it was backed by an anonymous donor), this is a live set of 14 songs; many of them are from the very pop-oriented Worlds In Collision. The sound is adequate; the David Thomas banter shines as usual. I would have liked a few more noisy Pere Ubu tracks, but this is a great reminder that you should never miss a live Ubu show if given the rare opportunity. (PS - I saw the tour's Washington, DC show; Pere Ubu opened up for the terse Pixies and easily stole the show.)
