Complete show. Some very slight static in different spots throughout (barely noticeable most of the time).

I had to tape this to cassette first as I wasn?t prepared for the broadcast (totally forgot about it) and didn?t have the

right cables with me. Cassette flip in d1t9 (about 10 sec. missing). Unfortunately the radio announcer choses to do a

"play-by-play" between tracks (and sometimes over the music!), but this is probably the only source of the show,

which was the first of their Europe 2004 tour. Still, very good to excellent sound quality on the parts that don?t contain talk-over.
