Comments:
Hissy and distant…that about sums this one up and its a shame too. Probably a lot better at the master but maybe not that much more. Overall its a typical audience recording with screaming girls, its hard to hear the guitar and most of the instruments are well back in the mix. So this is not the one to have first in a collection but I will say it carries a very rare performance of “Happy” which is apparently an unreleased original only played a couple of times. Its very odd and this is one of only a few performances of this song, unfortunately its very difficult to make out. This is probably the only reason to have this show other than it is complete.
