Comments:  There is a Japanese announcer between some tracks, and a
           power outage during AHM. I haven't heard it, but the quality
           is probably similar to the Hokkaido (3/13?) tape (Think
           Pink, Cold Front, et al.).  -ANON

           It sounds like a great performance, but if it wasn't for the
           very prominent crowd noise, I'd suspect it was taped from
           the parking lot. At times the hiss is louder than the music.
           CD1 sounds a little better than CD2, overall. AHM includes
           about 1:30 of a Japanese announcer, then a power-outage
           explanation by Roger afterwards, and a lot of tuning up. The
           announcements are much louder and clearer than the music,
           for some reason. This title seems to be *very* limited and
           difficult to find, but only worthwhile to the completist.
                         -ANON

	   One of the worst recordings I have ever heard.  I find it hard
	   to believe that they could not have done something to improve
	   the sound quality.  The hiss is louder than the music.  This has
	   become the standard by which I judge horrible recordings.  To
	   make matters worse, the creators did not index the Eclipsed
	   suite (disc 1).  As a result, disc 1 is one long song!  If you
	   want to listen to the Any Colour...  jam, you need to fast
	   forward through 30min of hiss.  Truly a landmark in stupid
	   decisions.  On the positive side, it sounds like a decent
	   performance, and the front and rear cover shot (1 continuous
	   picture) is a very good stage shot of the band standing around
	   with Dave and Roger smiling.  The picture appears to be of a
	   time appropriate to the show.  This title is not recommended.
	   Try one of the other available 2cd Japan shows.   -Scott
