Fan of the band, Neko Case says this about the collection: "Live '81-'85 captures that sweet spot after the record is made where you tour until the songs come out of you like a gorgeous martial arts drill and you wish you could go back and record them all over again. Debora Iyall's vocals are so confident and commanding. She is one of those singers who make me wonder how much less myself I would be if they hadn't been there." Show more
