If the band weren’t returning to South America the month after this show’s release, and if the crowd hadn’t gone ballistic in between and/or during nearly every song (which is very cool), I don’t think there’s any chance the show would have been officially released. The only thing compelling about it (IMO) is the ending to TWO STEP. It’s completely unhinged (in a good way), but even still there are three problems with it. First, you have to listen through the entire show to get to it. Second, you have to listen through Tim’s solo, which isn’t to my liking. And third, after having pulled off one of the better build-up endings in the song’s history, they restart it again for another 30-some odd seconds. Why? Not one I’ll return to. Maybe my rating is a little harsh, but when you have LT22 and LT28, too, what’s the point?
