NOTES:
Another nice show. Open air "tent". Good set and Ian's voice in decent order and lots of banter from him as well.
Warning: there is some crackling sound at 3:35-39 of track 2 on Disc 2, this came out of the PA system, not a
flaw in the recording. Other than that, clean show. There was a madman running up and down the Isles all night
with no shirt on so I thought I'd name the show after him...some of the "yells" in the distance are him.
He seemed to be a fine young looking "Aqualung" character. Listening back to these shows, and the ones I have from
2004 (see below), this is clearly the last great shows that JT performed IMO, from 2003-2005, the band was stellar
and tight and Ian's voice pretty good overall. Hope you all enjoy.

This was seeded long time ago by me, not sure if it was ever reseeded but I'm sure there are some that don't
have it, so here it is. I have two other shows I taped from Nov 2004 that were also seeded here long ago, that
were mastered by someone I can't remember (not sj) so I'm thinking of remastering them. Look for those shortly.

Repost if you like, but please keep info and file set intact.
