A fair audience tape which needed speed correction on my version. Some intermittent audience chatter which is quite intrusive, fortunately only in small order. A peculiarly muddy sound which little separation and despite the speed correction Mark sounding incredibly lethargic in places. Its listenable but the odd tone to the whole thing is somewhat distracting.
Back from the Antipodes, Japan, and Greece, via Reading and Norwich, the band embarked on a short tour of the UK through the early weeks of December. Relying heavily on Extricate and The Dredger & High Tension Line singles material with one or two oldies thrown in this is a good gig, however not a classic.
High points are the rarely played "Don't take the pizza" and an intense "Arms control poseur" but generally speaking this is a tad constipated in places with the band drifting rhythm wise and Mr Smith messing up his lines on a couple of occassions.
For completists only.
