This recording is nowhere near as good as the one the night before, but the performance here is quite enjoyable. Nothing too unusual happens here, but it's much more lively than some of the flat London performances. This is also Christmas Eve, so this does seem to affect the overall mood of the concert. The band wastes no time and gets down to business. For being a second half UK tour show, this one is quite nice to have. The only bummer here is that Voices Inside My Head is missing, as is the very start of Synchronicity I. The banter during the encore is essentially gone, so we have just the songs. The very end of So Lonely is missing as well. The first half or so of Roxanne is also missing. The discs split there as well, so I wonder if there was a tape problem that necessitated a change (props to the taper for coming prepared if this is what indeed happened). If you decide to pick this one up, you will likely find it worth the effort.
