Notes -

Slightly rough for a soundboard, but the sound is all there, and my, are those guitar textures nice, particularly once Tim Keegan, and then Drew joins the fray. There is a lot to behold here! Jewels for Sophia has a great psychedelic feel here. More psychedelia ekes out in the version of Cheese Alarm here, particularly in the intro, there's even a hint of raga, and great percussion on this track. Nice to hear the beautiful Madonna of the Wasps with vocal harmonies, and about the nicest guitar sound I've heard on a live version, shame it's relatively brief here, but lovely all the same. Great vocal harmonies on Queen of Eyes, and wow what lovely guitar on this one! As confirmed after that song, it was a seated gig (Tim Keegan - "imagine if we were standing up?", Robyn - "that would have been very vertical). Lovely harmony vocals from Tim Keegan, on Birds in Perspex. Nice 60's style guitar on It Sounds Great when you're dead. Love the way the guitar builds to a climax at the end of Kingdom of Love! Nice vocal harmonies on the "thrill me, again" bits on Beautiful Queen, and great lead guitar sound on that one from Drew!
