Additional comments

Excellent audience recording, the best of the London 1996 concerts both soundwise and musically. Great versions and some rare songs like Vic and Ray and Are we in trouble now. The Electra Strings are joining the band on some songs and special guests Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings play on Water of love. Also included are some bonus songs from other concerts. No can do from the day after this concert, You really got me played by Jim Cox on accordion from Münich that same year and three different versions of Hawaiian Lullaby. One live version and two different pre-recorded tape versions that were played also in Münich 1996.
