Notes Natalie Merchant guests on "Swan Swan H".
A whole verse of 'Driver 8' is sung solo by Michael before the band kicks in and the song is performed in its entirety.
Michael is hit in the face with a glowstick during "Midnight Blue", the band finish the song, & promptly walk off stage.
"Talk About The Passion", "Life And How To Live It" & "Just A Touch", which were on the written setlist for the 2nd encore, were not played.
the recording was incredibly clappy between many of the songs, much less so here, and it was running slow, which has been adjusted here.
the result is a pretty enjoyable listen now, not real hi-fi, but recorded close enough to hear everyone, and a good show,
despite the "midnight bluestick incident"
it was still longer than the Worcester Maass. oct 18, 1987 show (aprx. 92 min), and just a little shorter than the Providence oct 19 one (aprx. 110 min.)
