Title: The emperor`s not wearing any clothes...
Product review: I am au fait with all of this band`s albums and I can assure anyone unfamiliar with Horslips that, as an earlier reviewer stated, the studio versions of these tracks are far superior to the live versions on either the double album "Horslips Live"(from 1975) or on this later effort, "The Belfast Gigs"(their final album, released in 1980)which, although better than the earlier live album, which was appallingly bad, fails to do justice to any of the tracks and makes up with noise and improvised sloppiness what it lacks in substance and musical dexterity.I never saw these guys play live but I suspect that there was more than a little truth behind a contemporaneous music critic`s claim that "Horslips couldn`t really play..."The fans who rave about "The Belfast Gigs" are those fans who think that Horslips could do no wrong and are therefore not prepared to be objective and realistic about how good, bad, or indifferent Horslips really were, at different times.
