John Cale and his fantastic band playing live in the best venue in town, down on Brighton seafront. The club has a capacity of about 500 and was inexplicably only half-full. I believe it was a warm-up show for the following day's Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park.
The minidisc stopped during "Sold Motel" and there was lots of fumbling about trying to change the discs in a hurry and failing. The result is that I've faded the song out and then back in. I suppose you could try and mix in the missing section from one of the other great Cale recordings from this tour, but I couldn't be bothered.
"Jumbo in the Modern World" is introduced by Cale as "Blame it on the Monkey" ("and we know who that is...").
The sound is excellent throughout.

If you are one of those people that believes in "liberating" bootlegs, I would rather you didn't download this. Thankyou.
