Sound Comments/Faults?: Average quality. Tape hiss, sounds a bit distant, audience noise is only minor, minimal clipping. Tangible upgrade on ANA-2? previously on the LMA. Doesn’t have any tangible analogue transfer degradation. Also doesn’t have heavy handed EQ which reduced bass but made the other transfer sound very thin in comparison increasing the clarity of the vocal but also increasing tape hiss and making pockets of near microphone chat actually audible. It also doesn’t have 1 min cuts in Tear, Bullet and Transmission, 1 minute of extra intro but has 2 mins of the 1st encore noise cut after For Martha.

Show Comments: Perfect is solo acoustic. Amusing Aussie related chat - Billy "I did meet Shane Warne [famous Australian cricketer] once, didn't know who the fuck I was, but i knew who HE was". From memory some fans hung a sheet with the words “Zero” off a balcony, the crowd began chanting which got Billy’s attention and SP commenced an impromptu rendition of it with a few lyrics missing but an extended outro.
