Recorded about ten rows away from the stage. This is my first recording and though I think it sounds pretty nice, my voice and applause sometimes in between songs. My friend was next to me so you will likely hear him as well but again this is mainly in between songs and in very brief bursts.

The only truly bothersome bit is during "A Slow Drag With Josephine" where Costello goes off Mic and a loudmouth starts yelling for "All You Need is Love" and something about Live Aid and John Lennon. I've edited out some of the applause, specifically during the interlude before Slow Drag With Josephine. Otherwise I think this turned out quite nicely. Sound samples below. - strangerinfl


Additional edits by john234:
- applied brief fades at the start, end, and encore break.
- repaired micro-gaps between tracks.
- split WTD/Help Me into separate tracks.
- SBEs fixed
