Notes This was the first UK show of the 7 shows that they played here on the Up tour. Over the coming weeks, I'll seed the remaining five that I recorded at Earl's court the following night and the Manchester and three Stirling shows the next month. I also have the BCC Broadcast of the Glastonbury Festival set as well as the full audience recording (not recorded by me). A friend of mine (Hi Jamie) tweaked one of the Stirling shows and it sounds quite different to (and much better than) the original recording. I'll seed both versionS eventually.

My recordings of these shows had a limited circulation at the time but, as i had to depend on the technical knowhow of others (Hi Eric) I sent out 1st gen cassettes. This is taken straight from the original MD (as will be the others)

There's a gap of a couple of seconds at the end of 'Losing My Religion' - I can't remember why! - It makes sense to split the two discs around that.

In other words, Disc One has tracks 1999-06-2201 through to 1999-06-2215 and Disc Two has tracks 1999-06-2216 through to 1999-06-2227
Tech Notes Recorded from the Peter side of balcony in the aircraft hangar that is Earl's Court. After 'Suspicion', listen out for Michael saying "This place is real big".
