Two Hands, One Mouth: Live in Europe is an album by American rock/pop group Sparks, released in March 2013. It is their first ever live album, and first double CD album.
In October 2012, Ron and Russell Mael performed for the first time ever as a duo, with no band. The 18-city European tour titled "Two Hands, One Mouth" began in Lithuania and followed in Latvia, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, the UK and Ireland. The final UK concert of the tour was at the sold-out Barbican Centre in London. The tour then took the group to Japan with concerts in Tokyo and Osaka in January 2013. In April 2013, the show was presented for the first time in the US with two performances at the Coachella Festival. A short US tour followed.
"Two Hands, One Mouth: Live In Europe" was released in March 2013. It contains concert recordings gathered from various cities during the October 2012 European tour: which concert each track came from is only known for one, the final track, thanks to Russell Mael saying "Thank you all our friends in Manchester" after the song finishes. It's also very likely that the recording of "Hospitality on parade" is from Finland, because Russell introduces the band in Finnish. ("Moi, ystävät. Minä olen Russell. Hän on Ron. Me olemme Sparks.")
All tracks written by Ron Mael or Ron Mael and Russell Mael.
