Notes (*****): (6) is Downes' solo. The DVD is video of the full show. DBA began and remain largely a studio band, but this live album captures their first ever show on 20 Sep 2018 at Trading Boundaries in East Sussex, UK. The band considered playing with a live drummer, wanting Ash Soan, who was unavailable, but decided to do without, using Pro-Tools instead. Partridge was not at the show, but they used a recording of him. (HP, 30 Aug 21)
