This was indeed a killer killer show - quite dark at times especially once
it gets into the Nirvana live cover of old Leadbelly. But of course it
rounds off upbeat with Gil Scott Heron It's Your World. A quite wonderful
selection all in all. A friend of mine lent it to me. I played it to death
and then lost it a few years ago. If anyone could point me in the direction
of a copy I'd be eternally grateful.
