A great solo acoustic performance, with the rarely-played The End Of The Rainbow and a wonderfully comic version of Smiffy's Glass Eye just two of several highlights. The section from Wall Of Death onwards on the first disc consists of requests from the audience, whilst Purple Haze is a short instrumental tease.

Not the clearest sound on this one - it's a little muffled, with the bass too high and the volume too low. There are also some slight skips on tracks 5 and 6 of the first disc - I've verified with my source that those are on his originals, although obviously I can't be certain that there isn't a cleaner copy somewhere.
