Peter and the band were 'on' this night and give a good performance, with Shock the Monkey as an extra encore.  This show also includes one of the infamous screw-ups,  this time at the start of More Than This, where Peter forgets to sing...  If it weren't already, after the Growing Up the screw-up certainly has become Peter's trademark    ;-)

What's been done to this version? After converting to 32-bits, the recording was equalized. The bass was a bit overloaded, so that was restored. The high frequencies were lifted. Also, changes were made to several other frequencies: the stereo-image of the bass and the high frequencies were expanded a bit. A multiband compression on the mid and high frequencies was also used. However, the compressors were used in a way that they expanded the sound, rather than compressing it, so actually it was more 'multiband expanding'. The result of this is that more dynamics are now introduced into the recording: all the soft bits loose a bit of volume, all the loud bits gain a bit of volume. You can actually able to hear a lot of subtilities in the recording, especially in Ged's drumming and the keyboard-playing. There were fade-ins/fade-outs inbetween the encores in the original tape. This was restored to let the recording flow. Of course, a bit of crowd-cheering misses this way, but if you've heard one crowd . . .   Finally, the wavform was normalized, converted back to 16-bits and cut up in tracks.
