The album opens with tour MC (and later Clash road manager) Kosmo Vinyl calling audience members away from the bar and introducing the first act as "Nick Lowe's Led Zeppelin". The final cut of the album is a performance of Ian Dury's hit, "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" performed by all of the tour's artists and crew. ReleaseThe album has various names from Stiffs Live Stiffs, Stiffs Live and Live Stiffs. The correct name of the original Stiff Records release on 17 February 1978 was Live Stiffs Live.[4] The album was later re-issued on Music for Pleasure (MFP 50445) as simply Live Stiffs.[4] The album entered the UK Albums Chart on 11 March 1980, eventually peaking at number 28.[5] Live Stiffs Live was later released by Demon Records on CD in 1994 (Demon 621) and re-released in 1997 (Edsel 621 & Diablo Records 851).[6]Critical receptionReviewing in Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau wrote: {{quote|"Elvis the C provides a brand new existentialist pronunciamento, 'I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself,' but the real threat there is Nick Lowe's 'Let's Eat,' which garnishes a hot-and-greasy Mitch Ryder organ pump with lyrics like 'I wanna move move move move move my teeth' and 'Let's buy two and get one for free.' Filling out the good side are 'I Knew the Bride' (Lowe's answer to 'You Never Can Tell'), Larry Wallis's 'Police Car' (grand theft automatic), and two cuts by Wreckless Eric that seem unlikely to be eclipsed by their studio versions. Unfortunately, Costello's live 'Miracle Man' and the three Ian Dury performances were eclipsed before they came out."[2]}}In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine said "the entire record captures the wild, careening spirit of Stiff — it's fun, trashy rock & roll."[1] Track listingSide one
