by Stephen Thomas Erlewine Warts 'n' Audience captures a Christmas 1990 concert at Brixton Academy from Ian Dury & the Blockheads. The band is in good form, turning out energetic versions of such familiar items as "Wake Up and Make Love to Me," "My Old Man," "Billericay Dickie," "There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards," "Sweet Gene Vincent," "Blockheads," "What a Waste" and "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick." Ultimately, the record isn't more than a souvenir piece for hardcore fans, but those fans should find Warts 'n' Audience quite entertaining.
