CommentSound on this tape gets a bit fuzzy at times, and there are a number of pops and hisses but is for the most part a pretty good listen. You can hear some audience taunting at some points on the tape. All of the songs and video clips are here. At the end of Surgeon, the metronome and background track for Melanie gets accidentially triggered and leads to some confusion on stage for a couple of seconds until Bermuda calls for a drum solo, and then the concert continues as normal. During Twine, Al lists London, Tokyo and Newark as other exciting tourist attractions he's been to. The Yoda track has a jump in it, losing the "Yo-yo-yo-yo-Yoda / I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed" lyrics.

Michael Stipe: vocals on "People Have the Power"

Not much I need to say here: Patti Smith's band, performing "Horses" in its entirety, on the 40th anniversary of the album's release. (Also the 40th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which Patti noted at length, but she did not perform the Gordon Lightfoot song.) It was everything anyone could have expected, including guest appearances from opening act Michael Stipe and both of Patti's children, plus a feedback solo by Patti herself on the encore of "My Generation."
