Our take
Live albums usually serve the converted, but this one doubles as a way into The Return of Magik: the same material, played in front of a home crowd while it was still brand new.
At close to an hour, it is a commitment. Start with the title track if you only have ten minutes.
Bottom line
Out now on LP and streaming via Relapse. For doom and sludge fans who already own the studio album, or want the live version first.
