Our 2001 live album was recorded at Brixton Academy, indicating that the acoustic shortcomings of the space can be overcome if you use multiple sound sources (apart from close mics on every instrument, there are a number of ambience mics to capture the audience atmosphere) and brilliant sound engineers (our trusty Nick Robbins and his assistant Rob Keyloch in this instance, working closely with both our front-of-house man Paul Scully' and the recording engineers from the hired mobile studio), you can get superb results. The trouble with bootlegs is they are usually recorded from a single stationary source. That's not how your ears operate, complex and sophisticated buggers as they are.
