NOTES

90 minutes

A medium quality audience recording which whilst being audible has little presence due to the “distant” feeling of the sound. Due to the length of the gig most versions are spread over two discs. There are some odd glitches in the sound are various points in the available discs but nothing that will spoil enjoyment of the material. Some discs have particularly bad sound break-up after 2×4 so be warned!

This would be a great gig to report upon if it did not feel like it was recorded in the toilets to the rear of the venue. The Spring tour in 1998 was dominated by material from the recently released “Frenz Experiment” and the chart “hits” that the band had enjoyed.

A workmanlike performance but nothing for serious collectors to search out.
