Really good concert. This lineup�s been together for a wee while now, and it shows. Two new numbers played,
demonstrating that they�ve still got lots to offer. I�d urge anyone who�s even mildly curious to go and see them.
Unique band, great music, great musicianship. What�s not to like?

Each set burns comfortably to a CD (about an hour per set)

Soundwise � 8.0 out of 10.0
Not unhappy with it � about as good as I can get with this kit and my limited experience
Drums are a shade high in the mix due to the event being in a small theatre and a lot of
the drums� ambient/acoustic sound being picked up above the PA

Do what you will with it � except sell it :
You got it for nowt, you give it for nowt

Buy some official releases :
The Goose needs feeding if it�s to continue to lay golden eggs for us all
Better still, go to a gig and buy some there. You�ll get it signed and return home
full of joy
