Notes:
-Standard, albeit long intro to IWTBW
-During Ascent Of Man MS adds a spoken part that includes the "When I say I'm in love, you best believe
I'm in love, L-U-V" that he used in a previous tour (1999?)
-Before IOL MS tells of accusing "A very, very famous singer-songwriter of doing the same show every night and he wrote me a really mean letter. [MM] Come on tell [who it was] [MS] I don't kiss and tell. Shut up. [MM] He had two first names. [MS] He had two first names, very good Mike. You do the math"
-MS adds to his standard intro of PV/Final Straw "It's up to you to distinguish what the fuck happened between 1980 and 2004".
Grade: A
-Another superb quality show but this one seems to have the volume squashed down between songs, perhaps in an attempt to limit crowd noise. It sounds as if it's fading out but then comes back strong for the next song. I didn't notice this in the previous night's show that I assume was made by the same person.
