Twenty one years after their recording debut, the Stranglers celebrated the release of their 13th album with this sell out concert at the Royal Albert Hall on 13th June 1997. The band were accompanied by an eighteen piece string woman orchestra to perform tracks from throughout the years including 'Golden Brown', 'Skin Deep' and Kinks cover 'All Day and All of the Night'.

Saturday, October 30th, 1993. The Stranglers are headlining at the launch gig of the "Rock Circus Super Tent", intended to be the means by which large scale concerts can be taken to locations whose lack of appropriate venues usually sees them miss out on such events. It's a novel setting to say the least, and none of us quite knew what to expect as we left the security of our various domains this morning and made our way towards West Sussex. Anyone could be forgiven for thinking that a huge marquee, standing in a field beside a race track is not the best place to be on a bitterly cold October day. When the opening bars of "Midnight Summer Dream" herald the commencement of over 90 minutes of pure Stranglers excellence it will soon become clear that it is the only place to be...

On 11th August 1990, what began as just another Stranglers gig at Alexandra Palace became their final performance with founding member and frontman Hugh Cornwell. Fortunately, the night was captured on film, preserving a piece of music history for fans to experience again and again.

Filmed live for German television in Bremen on 18 February 1997, Absolut Live captures The Stranglers touring in support of their album Written in Red.
