this grandiose performance took place before the world fell apart, on March 17th 2019, when a pirate ship, having run aground somewhere off the Dutch coast, its crew somehow managed to make its way fourty kilometres inland to Tilburg, city that turns out to be alive for more than just Roadburn; the Scots treat the audience to no fewer than nineteen of their greatest hits from various albums released up to that point, flowing like salty seawater, stinging the eyes but bringing even greater joy to the good-natured crowd, as wild party erupts from the very first chords, with pounding riffs, memorable choruses, keyboard flourishes and captain Bowes' unhinged humour combining into one enormous frenzy of chants, singalongs and carefree anarchy, leaving absolutely no room for boredom; limited Austrian hardcover digibook triple disc edition offers three different formats of the show, where DVD version includes another 36 minutes of gloriously deranged festivities
