NOTES

64 minutes

A reasonably good audience recording – vocals are very clear, however the bass tends to dominate leaving the guitars a little lost on the overall mix, specifically Craig.

There are some interesting lyrical variations on Leave the Capital which are required listening with MES commenting somewhat balefully on the immediate surroundings and the previous gig at Rotterdam.

The third reading of “Hip Priest” is pretty much fully formed – some interesting use of echo/reverb on the vocals however. Hanley’s bass is monstrous on this. There are also feedback issues which keep re-occurring

The first performance of the utterly marvellous “Fantastic Life” is  utterly marvellous,  all Can like in it’s unrelenting motorik loveliness.
