    I love Justin's voice here, it pops beautifully. This guy is one of the best songwriters of the last 50 years.

    No autotune, nonsense dancing, fakery, miming. Actual musicians, singers who can hit the right notes and have the diaphragm to project.
    Thanks Del Amitri for getting me through those tough teen years 3 decades back, cheers lads I owe you some drams.

      The harmonies are incredible, mostly hidden in the mix in the original studio versions, it brings new life to the songs seeing them very much in the fore in the live gigs.

    One of the first songs I ever heard by Del Amitri. (The first was "kiss this thing goodbye" in 1990... The same applies.) I became an instant fan, or better said, mega-fan! I've been a die hard Del Amitri fan ever since. My great regret was never seeing them live in 30 yrs. Now I get a chance finally to have one of my music dreams fulfilled... The Dels live in 2022! Thank you God! Trying to type this through my tears of joy and gratitude.

    Seen these about 8 times (Norwich, Cambridge & Ipswich). One of very few bands that live, still sounds like their recordings. Great sound, fantastic lyrics - superb all round. Have their new album pre- ordered. Can't wait for it to pop through my letter box. Respect lads.
