, this performance disc featuring a 1987 Hamburg, Germany concert serves as a nice, and bit broader, introduction to the group, a frequent tour partner for similarly upbeat acts like The Bangles and Huey Lewis and the News.</p>
<p>Though a spare dash, musically speaking (it clocks in at seven songs, and a cumulative 44 minutes), <i>Cutting Crew: Live at Full House</i> includes a nice extra. As well as introducing the band’s set, <b>moderator Alan Bangs interviews singer Nick van Eede and guitarist Kevin Scott MacMichael on the group’s founding, influences and instrumentation</b>. Though it’s a period piece chat, and a contrasting modern update would have been interesting, one gratefully takes what one can get when it comes to castaway bands like Cutting Crew. In addition to the obvious, other highlights include “Any Colour” and “Fear of Falling.” They may not have deserved sustained, godhead status, but Cutting Crew comes across as certainly better than their current obscurity might suggest. <b>C+ (Concert) C+ (Disc)</b></p>
