Notes This is a very clear GFTO recording. And the crowd was surprisingly well behaved for a large city in a large venue. All songs are performed well, but especially .... Turn of the Century!!
This is the most gorgeous reading I've heard of this song. The best of the tour. Chris and Alan really lay back on this and let the soaring melodic instruments take front. It's amazing how Jon melds with Steve and Rick in this languished, sweeping version.

This recording runs -just slightly- fast. It's hard to tell, and at first I thought the band were just playing the songs at warp-speed tempo (it's nice to think they could play CTTE that fast, and Jon could actually reach notes THAT high). But it is running just a bit fast. It doesn't really ruin your enjoyment of the show that much, but I'm going to want to speed-fix this as soon as possible. (Now exactly how much to slow it down?)
