Notes
The NIA is one of the predominant West Midlands venues in the UK but I've always thought that the sound is a bit muggy on the mid ranges. This wasn't really helped by James Dean Bradfield's bout of flu. Therefore using Sonic Maximiser I've tried to pull the vocals out a little bit.
The title "Toothpaste N' Burn" is a reference to Nicky Wire's pain from forgetting his foundation and using toothpaste instead. What a tw@t! ;-)
Other interesting bits: a part cover of "She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult & about 20 seconds of Ozzy Osborne's "Crazy Train" riff in homage to Birmingham.
