*****************************************************************************
Despite the LP mode mishap resulting in a 32kHz sample rate and a lack of
high frequencies, this recording, although not the absolute best, is still
very listenable indeed - even if I do say so myself. A solid EX-

I decided to break away from the pack and squeeze the whole of set 2 and
encores onto one CD for convenience's sake. The shock and horror of not
hearing 3m30secs of rapturous applause at the end of "Echoes" will fade soon
enough, I feel. Does anyone bother to listen to those third CDs? ;-) . The
only other noticeable thing that has been cut from the recording is a few
secs of the WYWH intro, which was barely audible anyway due to audience
chatter. You'll still hear a snippit of applause here, which I've
deliberately left in to show I've not missed anything important out.

Glasgow, IMHO, was indeed a special night with the setlist following
favourable lines - no daft guests ruining treasured songs or introducing
boring ones. The crowd was "up for it", adding a good atomsphere, but
without being too rowdy and spoiling the band's great performace. The better
than average accoustics of the "Armadillo" meant the performance
was given in near ideal conditions and I'm sure everyone there that night
knew that they had witnessed something a bit special.
