Grade: A-
A+ sound for what is there, but there are some cuts and dropouts in my copy.  A clean copy would be an A+

Notes:
-before Swan Swan H, MS jokes: 'This next song is a new song, a song that I'm not sure I know the words to, but we're going to try.'
-Before Ghost Rider, BB starts tapping out the into to Finest Worksong.  This goes on for a few seconds before PB ignores it and starts the Ghost Rider intro.  MS says 'I think that was the wong cue.'
-either the banter was edited (skillfully) out, or this show was performed with little deviation from the setlist.  MS frequently goes on a tangent in the thanks/intros part, but even that lastedony a few seconds this night.
