wasn’t there, love my tape of it.

ghost > slave is one of my favorites. high quality to my ears.

4th show of '99, and easily the best thus far.

First set is pretty standard and a bit more song-based, but the Bowie that closes it out is definitely worth a listen.

Second set Ghost>Slave is out of this world, amazing jam. The Groove is quite excellent as well, even with Sleeping Monkey thrown in the middle.

Pretty memorable double-encore too is a perfect ending to this show. Not necessarily an all-time classic, but great nonetheless.
