Performance

Fabulous stuff. Energetic, tight and powerful. A blistering performance. Its night's like these that are responsible for their popularity in the US even now in 2017!

Sound

One of the best recordings of a Boy gig available. Incredible.
Recording: "Soundboard (Upgrade)" - 5 stars

Audience

1 star just because. Its a Soundboard recording. No audience.

Overall

In my top 5 shows that I own. And I own over 400. That's all you need to know about this amazing recording. Not only that its a long show with some incredible performances. An Cat Dubh, Electric Co, 11 O Clock Tick Tock, I Will Follow, Out Of Control, and a great bonus, an early raw version of I Fall Down.
