The sound was good, performances by all were on a level with the Barrowland gig the previous night, and the setlist was similar. The all seated venue meant that the audience was more restrained but no less appreciative. It took until the encores before anyone was dancing at the front; after that the atmosphere loosened up :-) Greater distance than in Glasgow and greater reverb on the sound means that the recording sounds a bit more distant than the Barras. Total time 2 hours 10 mins. Pics of both Glasgow and Edinburgh are included.
