NOTES
69 minutes
A turgid mess of overblown recording which is just about audible. The needles must have been peaking in the red for most of the gig.
The is to all intents and purposes mostly unlistenable. The keyboard dominates and when both Ben and Jims guitars play together the volume level creates significant distortion which muffles the sound. I would assume that the taper was either too close to Eleni’s amp or the PA in general. Mark is mostly inaudible, or distorted, and a shadowy blur in the soup of sound on some occasions.
Worth it, I suppose, for the instrumental version of “Paintwork”, the wackly techno sounds that presage “Mr Pharmacist” and a peculiarly constipated version of “What About Us?”.
Where the sound does settle down then the band appear to be in excellent form and there is a very well realised take on “Buck’s” which is mostly listenable.
If you want to study in some depth the keyboard lines that Ms Poulou was playing on this tour then this is extremely helpful.
Otherwise avoid.
