Review (1Cucho) : This is an excellent performance from the Big Circumstance era. Sound is nice and warm for a soundboard. I remember seeing the show in Berkeley from this tour and being floored by Radium Rain. This one does not fail to deliver either. There are some other gems here, as well: In he Falling Dark is excellent as is the performance of Silver Wheels. The trio setting suits Bruce's music nicely and this line-up, with Fergus Jemison-Marsh and Michael Sloski, really smokes.
