NOTES:

"We're not happy 'til You're not happy" (from the back of Casa De Carne Tour Crew's shirt)

Perhaps my best recording so far due to seating. Good sound for Jäähalli (old ice hall), but he balance of the instruments may seem strange - listen to the sample to decide for yourself. Only 1500 in audience out of ~7000 capacity.

Backup singers and the Band were great. The show and theatrics were top notch. Meat is singing mostly off-key and improvising too much, but I have no doubt he gave 100%. And as the Large One says during "Lemon":
"...fade to black... I'm sixty f*cking years old and they want me to fade to black... Go f*ck yourself!"

No artwork, but feel free to post some if you like. I've left it up to you where to split the discs, since I don't use CDRs.
