A good sounding audience recording. It suffers some slight echo/distant problems and a fraction of noise on the recording. This came from the taper.

Having been there this night the sound at the venue was good but not fantastic and this captures it very well indeed. The old victorian hall, now restored beyond the use of rock groups, was very bass heavy on the night, but not on this recording.

Joe struggled all night to raise his vocals above the instruments continually trying to get the mix changed. By Safe European Home he had had enough, cut it short on stage, then came back and roared into the final numbers.
