As this was the first live CD ever recorded by MAW, with new band members & in a country we hadn't toured before, getting good results was never going to be a sure thing. Fortunately we didn't stop to think about that, because as it turned out, the performances captured on this recording are from some of the most exciting & powerful shows the band has ever done. In no small part, this is due to the warmth, enthusiasm & sheer musicality of our Brazilian audiences. We'd never heard 10,000 people clapping in time, let alone singing alone in tune, but it's an experience that can only make you want to give your absolute in return. To these remarkable people, & the many good friends we made there, this record is dedicated.
