Sound quality is good.

As fans of GG will know, seeing the band live was like watching a group of jugglers as they would play each others instruments, even swapping mid song. So the above credits don't really do them justice.
I didn't receive any artwork for this concert. I'd sure like some.
From Jack Skelly's site (which can now be found at http://www.ggtourhistory.50webs.com/):
"Oct. 22 St. Louis, Missouri Opera House
opened for Rick Wakeman. during the Excerpts from Octopus medley, the band had some brief technical difficulties right before breaking into The Advent of Panurge. Derek subsequently missed his vocal entrance, leaving Kerry to sing the opening line of the song alone. a tape of the gig exists"
I assume this is from that very tape. It's rather short at 36 minutes and doesn't comply with the known setlist from that time. But I got this from Jack Skelly so...

As ever, I can't seed 24/7.
I will be probably missing in the evenings, UK time, so as to avoid upsetting my ISP.
Don't panic I will ensure someone gets a complete seed.
