Placebo: Live at Rock Am Ring
A typically brilliant Rock AM Ring set which sees Placebo perform as part of their tour in support of the new Meds alum, and despite a few hits being sadly overlooked the set is fairly strong although I would have gladly chopped and changed it around a little. The quality is perfect throughout in terms of presentation, audio and video, so this is a must for Placebo fans and is a better alternate to the audio bootleg from the show.
