Label : Crystal Cat Records

Venue : Horsens Nya Teater, Horsens, Denmark

Recording Date : May 21, 2000

Quality : Audience Recording (A+)

Review (Bob's Boots) : This complete recording comes from the tiny 450 seat Horsens Nya Theater venue. The set list reflects the intimacy of the venue, with a one-off arrangement of Hallelujah, I'm Ready To Go which features the band harmonizing on the chorus minus any instrumental backing. Nice outings for You're A Big Girl Now, Tryin' To Get To Heaven (this is the last time it is played in a similar style to the album version, later versions feature a jazzy slowed down arrangement) and Ballad Of A Thin Man. The audience is enthusiastic throughout, with slow hand clapping between songs (although the presence of crowd noise on the recording rarely distracts from the music; rather serving to enhance the feeling of being part of this intimate and exclusive performance). The quality of the recording is not up to the standards of the very best Crystal Cat releases, with the vocal becoming slightly buried in the mix on occasion, but overall it's a very high standard recording with plenty of range and definition. An excellent CD. This CD was reissued a few months after the initial Crystal Cat issue. This reissue came in a redesigned 4-fold Digipak package. Although this repackaging retained the original Crystal Cat labels and catalog number, it is probable that this reissue is a pirate edition from an anonymous label, since the discs themselves are picture discs, not in keeping with the familiar Crystal Cat design, and the cds contain no matrix number on the inner ring. No matter, since the musical contents on both issues are identical, the pirate reissue simply offers an attractive alternate package to collectors.
