Notes: Yes ft. ARW's first and, to date, only release. This came as
a DVD (with 5.1 sound), digital download, 2CD (as above) and 3LP
(LP2 begins with (6) and LP3 begins with (10)). This is not quite
the full show: Molino's drum solo in (4) is excised, as is Pomeroy's
in (9). The "Sunshine of Your Love" excerpt has also been cut from
(11). Rabin said that there were no studio fixes used, but that they
did sometimes edit in parts recorded on other nights on the tour to
fix particular parts.
In a Sep 2017 interview, Rabin said, "As soon as I finish this tour
[leg finishes 14 Oct], I actually go in and finish the mix on that.
[...] we've done the film and it looks really good. I think it was a
really good performance". Mixing was proceeding in early Dec 2017.
However, he only finished mixing the 5.1 just before the band's
European touring in Jun 2018.
An excellent capture of the band's live show, the release is marred
by the over-use of added audience applause, quite unrelated to the
actual noise the crowd made on the night. (HP, 10 Nov 18)
