 Amazon.com: Royal Albert Hall October 10 1997: Music: Spiritualized   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Spiritualized is hands-down one of the most captivating, mesmerizing live bands since early Pink Floyd, and the double CD Live at Royal Albert Hall captures every violin quiver and guitar dribble with absolute clarity.
Live albums, by and large, are a dime a dozen -- inconsequential souvenirs designed to placate fans awaiting new studio material, they rarely if ever shed new light on the artist in question; rarer still is their ability to approximate the energy and excitement of the concert setting itself.
Spiritualized's transcendent Royal Albert Hall October 10 1997 is the proverbial exception that proves the rule, a revelatory two-disc collection which captures the group at the peak of their powers, somehow translating the hypnotic power and epic majesty of their live set onto vinyl.

A five foot high white scrim ran end-to-end across the stage behind the band, short enough to allow people in the seats behind the stage to see the musicians, and on this sliver of white sheeting, psychedelic washes of color were projected throughout the show.
His playing on Albert King’s “Born Under a Bad Sign” especially lacked snap because he was not syncopating his snare, kick and right-hand stick on the bell of his ride cymbal in the same way he did on Cream’s earlier cover.
