A very good performance with all of the band on good form, Ian’s vocals sound pretty good, he does a great job considering the problems he has had over the years with his throat, etc. and really deserves every credit for continuing to put on great performances for us.
The opening song is missing unfortunately due to a late arrival at the venue. “Yellow Time” the second song performed cuts in, I had started recording on the way. Ian and crew were already on stage with Heather and Brian from Mostly Autumn. The first 42 seconds are very muffled, recorded from inside my jacket pocket – you can here the usher pointing out our seats and a comment from my friend. After that the sound quality gets much better.

A short mp3 sample of Serenade To A Cuckoo is included in the torrent comments.

Artwork included in torrent.
