A Frames Live album has always been a mouth-watering prospect. A couple of years ago, it would have been more than likely an Ireland only release with a few thousand copies sold to an enlightened few - the people who filled Whelans for those magic three hour long sets and nights that kept on going and going, encore after encore.

Well now it has finally arrived, and far from being an Ireland only release, instead it has been created for Eastern Europe with a few precious copies available here. Containing ten songs culled from the band's recent January appearance in the Czech Republic, it has all the trademarks of a Frames live set, the same passion, emotion, energy and captivating sparks, only the stories are different. Anecdotes, jokes, explanations and memories act as a warming prelude to almost every song, from the Egon Schiele tribute of Santa Maria to the dedication to 'the man that stands on the bridge' before Rent Day Blues.

What Happens When the Heart Just Stops sounds as beautifully tragic as ever, if not more so, while a nine minute plus version of Fitzcarraldo complete with two violins is possibly the most beautiful live performance ever. Santa Maria brews into a tornado of guitar before melting into an extended delicate finish, while Red Chord is laced with Jeff Buckley's Last Goodbye.

Old favourites dashed with new medleys, album versions given new life on stage, and cover versions given The Frames treatment all combine to produce something very special. While it may not be the same as standing in awe in a packed Vicar Street in front of one of the greatest live bands, Breadcrumb Trail is the next best thing and one which you shouldn't let pass you by.
