Notes:
this concert was broadcast live on 2fm. the audio is taken straight from the soundboard so the quality is A+. 2fm did not broadcast the full set. what is included here is what they broadcast. there is a few cuts in the concert from where the station cut to a commercial. there's no talking in between songs or anything like that. also since this was a live broadcast, 2fm didn't have a chance to get the different instruments to the right volume level. if any of you have ever listened to an REM concert from 2005, particularily the synth effect at the end of the great beyond, this instrument is louder than all other instruments on a few songs which are: the great beyond, walk unafraid and man on the moon. the quality is brilliant and this is a really enjoyable performance.

* Birthday tribute and dedication to detained Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi
Timeline has Final Straw before Moon River but it seems to fit with how it is listed here as MS references something he said after Moon River before Final Straw.
Timeline notes:: 'The Outsiders', 'Find The River' and 'World Leader Pretend' were dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi. Mike Mills sang on 'Moon River'. Michael sang one line of 'Suzanne', a Leonard Cohen song

Grade: B
-still sounds like bass has been pushed up but much clearer than his previous recordings all around
Notes:
-Before LNY MS states that he, Moby and Sinead O'Connor are making the world safe for slapped head bald men and that he & Moby share a home in NYC but I suspect he meant to say they share NYC for a home.
-Setlist highlights: Moon River (1), Sitting Still (3).
-Before The Outsiders MS notes the walk up song this evening was U2’s Walk On, about the Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi. He details her recent life as pro-democracy activist and wishes her a happy birthday.
-MS notes Moon River was his favorite song as a child because he thought the line huckleberry friend was about his favorite cartoon character, Huckleberry Hound.
