Comments
Mike's Comments(rates this release 4.5/5.0)
This set provides a nice example of how strong the Japanese shows were on the whole. The third disc of soundchecks is a good bonus, though it should be noted that the last few tracks ('When you were mine' and 'Last December') are sung by NPGMC members, and not especially well it has to be said. Best to skip those and go instead to the powerful performance of 'The everlasting now' from the Jay Leno show, which is a great way of rounding off a pretty decent set.
