The Wedding Present is well-known as an excellent live band, as the band's David Gedge has been making clear with a series of live CDs on his Scopitones label. This live recording is taken from 2005 and features a set list that draws from many different points of their career, dating all the way back to their first single, "Go Out and Get 'Em Boy" from 1985.
