Oh, no, no, I don't mean to dismiss the 'Double Live' set at all. But for me, it's something of a pendant to the main body of work comprised in the Touch & Go series (in which I most certainly do include the 'Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis' EP). I guess in general I tend to overlook live albums as souvenirs, however fine, unless it plays a majorly significant role in evaluating an artist's overall career trajectory, like, I suppose, 'The Audience with Betty Carter,' Kiss 'Alive,' the Who 'Live at Leeds,' James Brown 'At the Apollo' or even 'Frampton Comes Alive.' By those markers, 'Double Live,' like King Crimson's 'Earthbound' and 'USA,' PiL's 'Paris au Printemps' and even Ted Nugent's 'Double Live Gonzo' is simply a treat for the fans.
