Sound Quality: B
Good quality, balanced recording, though slightly muffled in places.

Performance Quality: B
Some funky stuff in the warm-up to Spike Island, and the performance here actually turned out to be better. One Love stops after two minutes though after a mistake by Mani.

Why should I get this bootleg?

Ian’s chats with the crowd are amusing, and it’s one of the longest sets the pre-Second Coming Roses did, so you certainly get value for money.

Background

This was part of the Roses’ Scandinavian tour, that they used as a warm-up to Spike Island. The Fryhuset is a large YMCA-style building, and 1,500 people were crammed into it to see the Roses. After the gig, the band hit the town and, according to eye-witness reports, got completely wasted.

Fan Reviews

“Something’s Burning is fantastic. The sound is a little muffled, but clear.” – Ben Cohen, England
