The album is the third in a trilogy of releases, following studio albums ''[World Be Gone](/source/World_Be_Gone)'' in 2017 and ''[World Beyond](/source/Erasure_discography)'' in 2018. The 24-track live album was culled from two concerts at the [Eventim Apollo](/source/Hammersmith_Apollo) in February 2018, which was part of the ''World Be Gone'' tour.{{cite web|url=http://mute.com/mute/share-love-you-to-the-sky-from-world-be-live-album |title=MUTE • Erasure • Share 'Love You To The Sky' from 'World Be Live' Album |website=Mute.com |access-date=7 July 2018}} ==Critical reception== {{Album ratings |rev1 = [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) |rev1score = {{rating|4|5}} |rev2 = ''[Classic Pop](/source/Classic_Pop_(magazine))'' |rev2score = {{rating|4|5}}{{cite journal|date=June 2018 |title=Erasure: World Be Live |journal=Classic Pop |issue=42}} }} Upon release, Marcy Donelson of [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) praised the "well-curated mix" of songs on the album and described Bell as giving an "emotive performance". ''[Classic Pop](/source/Classic_Pop_(magazine))'' considered the live material a "nostalgic celebration" and highlighted Bell's "entertaining interjections". They concluded: "It's abundantly clear, as the ''World Be...'' trilogy concludes, that Erasure have lost none of their sparkle." ==Track listing== {{Track listing | title1 = [Oh L'amour](/source/Oh_L'amour) | writer1 = [Vince Clarke](/source/Vince_Clarke), [Andy Bell](/source/Andy_Bell_(singer)) | length1 = 3:51 | title2 = [Ship of Fools](/source/Ship_of_Fools_(Erasure_song)) | writer2 = Clarke, Bell | length2 = 4:04 | title3 = [Breathe](/source/Breathe_(Erasure_song)) | writer3 = Clarke, Bell | length3 = 3:35 | title4 = Mad As We Are | writer4 = Clarke, Bell | length4 = 3:56 | title5 = Just a Little Love | writer5 = Clarke, Bell | length5 = 3:36 | title6 = [In My Arms](/source/In_My_Arms_(Erasure_song)) | writer6 = Clarke, Bell | length6 = 3:41 | title7 = [Chains of Love](/source/Chains_of_Love_(Erasure_song)) | writer7 = Clarke, Bell | length7 = 4:00 | title8 = Sacred | writer8 = Clarke, Bell, [Richard X](/source/Richard_X) | length8 = 4:40 | title9 = Sweet Summer Loving | writer9 = Clarke, Bell | length9 = 4:20 | title10 = [I Love Saturday](/source/I_Love_Saturday) | writer10 = Clarke, Bell | length10 = 3:52 | title11 = [Victim of Love](/source/Victim_of_Love_(Erasure_song)) | writer11 = Clarke, Bell | length11 = 4:17 | title12 = Phantom Bride | writer12 = Clarke, Bell | length12 = 3:46 | title13 = World Be Gone | writer13 = Clarke, Bell | length13 = 3:49 }} {{Track listing | title1 = [Who Needs Love (Like That)](/source/Who_Needs_Love_Like_That) | writer1 = Clarke | length1 = 3:09 | title2 = Take Me Out of Myself | writer2 = Clarke, Bell | length2 = 5:31 | title3 = [Blue Savannah](/source/Blue_Savannah) | writer3 = Clarke, Bell | length3 = 4:45 | title4 = [Atomic](/source/Atomic_(song)) | writer4 = [Deborah Harry](/source/Deborah_Harry), [Jimmy Destri](/source/Jimmy_Destri) | length4 = 4:36 | title5 = [Drama!](/source/Drama!) | writer5 = Clarke, Bell | length5 = 4:12 | title6 = [Stop!](/source/Crackers_International) | writer6 = Clarke, Bell | length6 = 3:23 | title7 = Love You to the Sky | writer7 = Clarke, Bell | length7 = 4:17 | title8 = [Always](/source/Always_(Erasure_song)) | writer8 = Clarke, Bell | length8 = 3:53 | title9 = [Here I Go Impossible Again](/source/Here_I_Go_Impossible_Again) | writer9 = Clarke, Bell | length9 = 3:30 | title10 = [Sometimes](/source/Sometimes_(Erasure_song)) | writer10 = Clarke, Bell | length10 = 3:30 | title11 = [A Little Respect](/source/A_Little_Respect) | writer11 = Clarke, Bell | length11 = 3:52 }} ==Personnel== '''Erasure''' * [Andy Bell](/source/Andy_Bell_(singer)) – vocals * [Vince Clarke](/source/Vince_Clarke) – [synthesizer](/source/synthesizer)s '''Production''' * Will Shapland – mixing, recording * Alex Wharton – mastering '''Other''' * P.A.
