The live recording has been taken from the band's unique performance last year at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The show was a gig in two halves - the first an acoustic set and the second electric. According to Jon Sevink from the band; “We booked the show a year and a half in advance so we had plenty of time to prepare. You can't treat it like a normal gig. We thought we'd tart ourselves up a bit by using a string quartet, a grand piano and some professionals to add some 'class' to the proceedings. We all had a great night. I was telling myself 'don't miss a single moment', absolutely loved it. Very emotional.”
During the performance the recording equipment crashed and several songs were lost from the final recording. “Live at the Royal Albert Hall” features songs from the albums “A Weapon Called The Word", “Levellers”,” Zeitgeist”, “Mouth To Mouth” and “Letters From The Underground”
