The Way We Used To Live is a direct to CD recording of a performance
by Tim Bowness and Samuel Smiles at the Cambridge Folk Club on the
evening of December 3rd, 1999. What you get is what actually happened, with, as the gatefold sleeves of all 1970's live doubles will untruthfully tell you, 'no overdubs'.

In our case, for once we're not lying. Maybe it was hubris, maybe it was a barely suppressed admiration for Neil Diamond's 'Love At The Greek' and 'Kiss Alive II', but we felt the time was right for another, less celebrated entry into the rogues gallery of the live album.

After hearing it back for the first time, we hastily scrawled into our respective notebooks, 'some magic, some fluffs'.

Hopefully that's enough.
