This may be close to getting my vote for best sounding show of the tour. Terrific recording! [jgromada]
Show memories
This was the first rock concert I ever attended. I remember being surprised by the age of the audience (20s and 30s, which was old to me, as I was 14). It was also really LOUD, and the sound was absolutely terrible in this place, at least in the balcony where I was. It was an old movie theater, a bit run down. I remember these sleazy dudes behind me snorting coke off tinfoil. Quite an introduction to live music.

Peter's performance was certainly exciting. He was jumping and running all over the stage. During Lay Your Hands On Me, he stood at the edge of the stage for what seemed like an eternity. What in the world was he doing? Then.....he fell backward into the crowd! I couldn't believe it - this was crazy. Even up in the balcony, there was a surge of energy as he dropped backward. He was passed all around the floor, disappearing from my view up in the balcony. Then, he was sent back up to the stage, to keep singing "over me!" Really, really amazing.

I'll have to get a copy of this show and hear it with good sound! [scoot]
