With lots of Alice activity at the moment I felt it was time I dug out this old tape and got it digitised. I did trade this once back in the day and I'm pretty sure that all copies around are of this version. So this will be an upgrade to any copy you may have.

The beginning is missing as Alice came on unexpectedly whilst we were all still in the bar, no 2 minute warning was given as is the norm at the BIC. So the first few songs are a bit changeable in sound as I wormed my way into the hall and through the crowd, ending up somewhere in the middle. The BIC is a monster of a hall that has all the atmosphere and acoustics of an air hanger so the sound is a bit 'atmospheric'. Dunno why the solo before Poison is cut, maybe I just got bored with it, to be frank I had a recollection of cutting a drum solo - why do they bother?

When transferring this I was surprised to find the interview tagged on at the end, I have no memory of this but thought I'd leave it in as it follows on nicely date-wise.

Enjoy!
