Sound Quality: C
Steady, but quite distorted when it gets loud. Drums are slightly lost too.
Performance Quality: B
Probably the most emotional Second Coming performance from all concerned, but Squire dominates a bit too much.
Why should I get this bootleg?
This is the one time during the Second Coming tour that Ian actually sounds up for a gig, and he lets the crowd sing the first part of Tightrope. He also plays harmonica in the only time the Roses played a jam at the start of Good Times. A really passionate gig.
Background
Ian Brown says this is the best gig the Roses ever played. They came on late into the night, following on from DJ's, etc. The Brixton Academy is reckoned by the majority of people in Britain to be the best place to hold a gig, and everyone I've spoken to that went said this was the best gig they ever went to. Someone who went to the gig said, "I don't even like them that much and I went down there because someone blagged me a free ticket. The atmosphere was amazing and when the Roses played they were completely brilliant. They really blew me away - it was one of those classic gigs."
