NOTES

55 minutes

Good quality soundboard for tracks 1-12

A fine gig with some interesting guitar twiddles on Spectre vs Rector which would be worked out of system in due course. Good to hear some of the nascent Dragnet material in such a clear recording and given this is only the sixth gig of the Dragnet five piece some experimentation with form and structure still going on.

Smith is in fine form throughout and there some excellent references to the new material in the introductions. Interestingly “Psycho Mafia” begins with lyrics from “Spectre vs Rector”.

Highly recommended
