Green - A little distortion around the edges, but it seems to be corrected 
shortly into the song.  The recording could use a bit of a boost in volume, 
as it kind of fades away at times.  Some movement of the mic during this 
song.  No speed problems, which is a very, very good thing.

Careful - A very nice performance of Careful With..., which is the highlight 
of this show for me.  Dave does some very nice, prominent guitar strumming 
prior to the scream section.  Roger even does a mini scream during this, 
though Dave never lets up on his guitar strumming.  There is no quiet 
section prior to the scream where Roger does his "Careful..." bit.  In fact, 
I cannot hear Roger say anything prior to his scream.  Careful definitely 
has a slightly different feel and sound to it here.  I really like this 
song's performance here.  A very nice performance indeed!

Saucerful - Nice improv work by the group, especially Dave.  This is a very 
good performance, though there is some feedback on Dave's guitar in the post 
improv section.  Though, that can sometimes add a nice effect as well.  
Very nice.

Set The Controls - Another good performance.  Nice guitar work by Dave and 
keyboards by Rick.  Very hypnotic.

AHM - It pretty much sucks, as is ALWAYS the case with the orchestra/choir 
performances (and which is NEVER the case with the group only performances). 
However, there is a historical element here, as this is the debut performance 
of AHM w/ orchestra/choir.  Have you ever noticed that the choir always 
sounds like it's taken from the soundtrack of those Omen movies.  The group 
playing is laid back.  The sound quality and volume goes down a bit during 
their improv section about 2/3 into the song.  When the orch kicks back in, 
the sound improves a bit.

Sound quality is a little rough.  There is some distortion and the music 
gets a little distant at times.  Overall, though, this is a nice show, even 
if 24min is wasted by the orchestra and choir performance of AHM.
