Airliner was played when Michael changed his socks and shoes on stage.

A few times you might hear a brief noise due to either the wind blowing into
my mics or me moving as some people wanting to get out for a beer
hit my jacket making the mics move a bit.

Notes:

Setlist highlights: West Of The Fields (1 promo, 9 tour), So. Central (2 promo, 6 tour), Auctioneer (3 promo, 11 tour), Airliner (1)

-No backup vocals in West Of The Fields on digital broadcast version.

-Standard intro to MSR

-MS notes it has been raining but it has stopped before Ignoreland

-So Central is introduced as "our only rain song of the evening, I hope it doesn't bring anything on".

-Diver 8 is noted as a request.

-The digital broadcast is missing  Airliner & some banter:  MS notes after MSR that he dressed too warm, he is wearing his trainers and that the stage is only slippery in a couple spots.  He goes on to introduce Ignoreland as a song about their hopes for the government to lead the country into the new millennium, "sadly it didn't happen that way".  After the song he asks someone to go get his boots so he can change.  After Airplane MS asks PB if they should name the song. PB's reply is off mic but MS answers "Oh, ok it's an actual song".  Before Electrolite MS notes it's not dark enough to do the phone thing.  The Oxfam announcement is also missing from the digital broadcast.

-The aud version seems as if the recording was stopped and restarted after many tracks

Grades:

Digital broadcast: A

Aud: C
