The band was very popular during the 1980s. But by 1990, after eight albums in eight years, they were burned out and the band went on a long hiatus. They finally reunited with a new album, "Peace," in 1999. They toured to support it through 1999 and 2000, and this show was part of that tour. Since then, they've only done less than ten shows, most of them short appearances at awards shows.
One nice thing about these Storytellers shows is that some musical acts who rarely talk on stage are put in a position to talk. This show is a case in point. Lead singer Annie Lennox even mentions in her banter that she almost never talks on stage, yet once she got started talking, it was like she couldn't stop and went on for about three minutes before the next song. The only other member of the band, Dave Stewart, talked about an equal amount.
By the way, I list "McGinty's Meal and Ale" as a song in the set list, but that's a stretch. In reality, Lennox just sang a snippet of this song acappella that lasts only about 20 seconds. But I did a little Googling to figure out the song title, so I figured it was useful to include that information.
This album is 44 minutes long.
