This soundboard recording has absolute amazing sound! Taken from a TV broadcast. Great concert including very nice versions of Single handed sailor and Follow me home. Notice that they played Sultans of swing twice because Mark was very unhappy with the way he played it the first time: "Alright now, let's do this Sultans and do it properly..." Very rare that this happens! The atmosphere is terrific on this concert, a must to have! Complete and uncut show.
