Review : This recording has been available for a few years via the live80 website in the form of a 320kbps mp3. However this is the fully lossless version, for which big thanks to Bob. It's a gorgeous recording directly off the desk, the same basically as the live80 version where you can listen to it. Horsechimes is a bit chopped at the beginning, the sound is mixed for live performance rather than home listening, but otherwise a great record of the UK leg of the tour. Possibly missing Appetite, which was usually played, but that's all.

Review (Sproutology) : Excellent sound board recording. Available via the Live 80s website and issued as CD-R bootleg in various formats, including Circle Music’s nicely produced presentation. “This was recorded on the UK and European tour to promote the Protest Songs album that should have been released after the tour but was shelved and finally released several years later.“ Out of all the tours with all of the many bands I worked for, this tour was by far the best and most enjoyable – great band.”
