Great sound quality. Very nice seperation of instruments, with the only drawback on that front being Ray's vocals - they are a tad low (that might not be a drawback at all for some of you!). Also, even though it is a stage recording, that doesn't exempt the mics from picking up a woman for whom I can only assume has a heavy drinking problem and smokes 3 packs a day. You'll recognize her when you hear her. Although I do agree with her comments, just expressing them once is enough!

To the music: very solid show throughout. Right out of the gates in Bad Hair, and although Ray comments they don't get warmed up until making their way through Five B4 Funk, they are cranking from start to finish. Nice MFT, Funk, Tiny Lights, Slumber, and PONR > Whipping Post. Arguably Steve's best playing comes in PONR.

During Spring Water, as Steve drops into his second solo, he comes dangerously close to teasing "Franklin's Tower" - but not quite. I assume he stops playing the line to work a knob or two, and he doesn't return to it when he starts to play again.

Sound: A. Playing: A.
If the other two nights are like this, BC got hosed in December of '98!
