UK two CD set, an exclusive live recording by the reunited Irish Rock band performing at the Roundhouse in London on October 26, 2013. Over 25 years since their last live appearance, The Boomtown Rats, fronted by Bob Geldof, returned to grace the stage as part of a 21 date tour of the UK and Ireland. The Rats entertained the crowd with classic tracks, "I Don't Like Mondays", "Banana Republic" and "Rat Trap". This special commemorative set perfectly captures the crowd's excitement in relation to the energetic performance the ultimate LIVE RATS collector's item.

Nobody was ever cooler in a fake snake-skin suit
As energetic as the actual gig which, in turn, was as good as the Rats now and in the 70s/80s - there's hardly anyone to touch Bob and essentially the original line-up in terms of sheer energy as this band. Definitely see them. And definitely buy this.

was pretty good, although Bob showing his age (bit out of breath now and again) I must be getting old as well as some of the swearing was over the top and not really needed. That aside i enjoyed it and it brought back great memories of the 70's

LIKE CLOCKWORK!
I am a fan of these 'Concert Live' recordings, released immediately after gigs and taken straight from the mixing desk.As always, the recorded quality is excellent - a really great listening experience.This particular show (taken from the Roundhouse in 2013) captures the Rats in great form. The performance is extremely high energy and showcases a fabulous back catalogue which has been criminally overlooked down the years.Geldof's banter is often amusing, including a wonderful putdown on disc 1. The language is at times 'colourful'. Bob's vocals are good though he gets a little horse in places.Well worth investigating if you love the Boomtown Rats. Also check out the Dublin show - not a facsimile of this performance but a show with a different feel and atmosphere.
