Whoa, great find!

Funny…it’s probably the only show I can think of where the Soundcheck is better than the show itself. The YEM smokes, but it’s a pretty pedestrian affair other than that.

Idk…the soundcheck really isn’t that great to listen to other than for novelty purposes. It would’ve the been the shiz to be there of course, but I have a hard time listening to the whole thing. The rest of the show is pretty pedestrian save for a really nice YEM.
