Sound Quality: B
Slightly muffled, with a bit of noise, but a good mix and reasonably clean. Cymbals seem to disappear halfway through.

Performance Quality: D
Squire and Mani occasionally hit off-notes, Squire especially, particuarly on TSLS. Ian sounds bored (see below), but isn’t too bad at singing. Maddix puts in one of his better performances. The performance as a whole sounds a bit flat, for reasons I can’t explain.

Why should I get this bootleg?

To hear Ian getting bored and wound up by the silence of the crowd. “Anyone know a good joke?” he says at one point. “We come all this way, play you the music – WHO LIKES THE MUSIC?!”. He ends up shouting “You ain’t sayin’ shit!” loads of times during Driving South.
