The word "Fun" seems to be the key word in most reviews when describing this release and I can only add to the growing throng of reviews that FUN this concert definately is to listen too. The sond is , of course, lower quality than some other releases  being an audience bootleg, but it is far from being unlistenable. Quite the opposite in fact- this concert has a great vibe and soul IMO.

A previous reviwer has added their comments regarding pricing so I feel inclined to add my opinion . For me 12.95USdollars for best quiality possible sound restoration of a bootleg and inclusive booklet is cheap IMO. I remember paying much more than this years ago at record fairs for concert bootlegs, some of which were far worse than this in quiality. Why did I buy them? Because I wanted the concert ,whatever the quality ,pure and simple.

It’s a bootleg, an audience recording. Is very expensive.

As the item description says, the sound quality here isnt great....Havign said that, I did think it was very good for an audience recording.  Just i do find it very frustrating imagining just how good it could be if the recording was better.

But the actual concert itself is great...some nice bits throughtout, and as the other reviews have said, just FUN.

That’s the word: fun. Although the sound is not very good, the instruments are individually very clearly defined in the recording. But most important, the performance is just great and you sense that the band is having fun onstage. One of the very best nights I’ve heard by the 80s line-up. A rave-up.

A fun listen. It sounds as if they’re having a good time. Great start with Waiting Man and it’s goes from there. With great bookend recordings of this group (Moles and Absent Lovers (imho)), I find it hard to find shows that simply offer a good time. I find that here. Sound quality be damned, it’s all about the music anyway.
