Post Description

Disc One is the Twentieth Anniversary concert proper from December 15th of 2001. Filmed at The Mean Fiddler in front of a packed house, the concert is perhaps not as theatrical as the Subterranea tour, although vocalist Peter Nicholls dons makeup and a cape for the event, just like in the old days of IQ. However, the main focus of the gig is the band itself and what immediately struck me was the important role that humor plays here, which has been absent from their other concert films. 
Disc Two is the "Special Features" disc and as such is loaded with some great bonus material . Aside from the encores from the Mean Fiddler gig, we also get a warm-up performance by The Lens from the same show. Though the band is heavily disguised, their identities are not too difficult to distinguish! For more laughs, check out The Intros and the Outros, which I initially made the mistake of glossing over; this is funny stuff! Rounding out the disc is a 30 minute tour diary, an encore performance of the band covering an ABBA classic, as well as a photo gallery, more Cookie Cam footage and you really can't ask for more. Two big thumbs up from me for IQ20. Well done gentlemen!
