The Spirit is a live album by British melodic rock band Magnum, released in 1991 by Polydor.
Recorded during the Goodnight L.A. tour, the selection of recordings was made according to the band's live set. The band selected the recording that they were most happy with. Although it was originally intended to be a double CD featuring Magnum's full set at the time, it was changed to a single disc to cut costs.
Polydor reluctantly promoted the album and the tour, following the disappointing sales of Goodnight L.A.. Considering Polydor's decision to market Magnum towards an American market, the band were unhappy with the promotion of both Goodnight L.A. and The Spirit. After the tour to promote The Spirit, the band decided to leave Polydor, agreeing to pay to end their contract with their own money.

All songs written and composed by Tony Clarkin, except where noted.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sacred Hour!!!,
I've never been a massive fan of live albums as they tend to be either a cheap stop gap or just another way for bands to exploit their fans loyalty.
However, I always find Magnum's live albums to be good value and highly entertaining. The live versions of Magnum songs always sound harder and meatier than their studio counterparts and with a track list such as this, 'The Spirit' also works as something as a best of.
Other bands could only ever dream of having the number of crowd pleasers that Magnum seem to cram into a live set.
With such big, live staples such as 'Kingdom of Madness', 'The Spirit', 'Sacred Hour', 'How Far Jerusalem', 'On a Storytellers Night', 'Les Morts Dansant', 'Vigilante' and 'Rocking Chair' you just can't go wrong really.
Great entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnum - The Spirit,
Quite simply; "The Spirit" by Magnum is one of the finest Live albums every recorded.
Whether one is a fan of the band or not, the whole atmosphere of the concerts and songs can be felt throughout.
It should be in the library of every Rock music fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Spirit caught my spirit!
If you are going to by a collection cd with Magnum by this! It gives you a very good feeling of what Magnum is all about.
I think that it includes many of their best songs, such as Les Morts Dansants, How far Jerusalem, Sacred Hour and many more.
Their music has the ability to be listened to over and over again and you never get tired of it!

So I strongly reccomend you to put The Spirit in your cd-collection!!
