The setlist is top notch, exploring every era from the band, and includes a VERY RARE performance of "Pull Up The Roots", a song they didn't play much during the tour. The only bad point of this boot is the recording quality, a bit down with echo & reverb that I couldn't fix : a true audience recording, although it could have sounded worse, so cheers to the taper for his awesome job !
