This recording is nothing short of a wet dream come true for any Steady Diet enthusiast, since the set list includes ten out of eleven songs from that album, including a rare opportunity to catch the white whale that is Polish.

Also, listen closely as Runaway Return needs extended improvising by Guy and Brendan because of some instrumental issues. Worth noting as well are the early versions of Cassavetes and Last Chance For A Slow Dance, songs featured on the 1993 album In On The Kill Taker (which at this point is being referred to by Ian as "In Pieces" as mentioned in the previous comment), and the unreleased song Set the Charges.

And on top of all that you get an extended outro featuring Justify My Love by Madonna, the Bottom theme music by The Bum Notes, as well as some other groovy tunes.

Happy times.

Blistering Latin Roots. Rare Polish. Weird vocals on Last Chance for a Slow Dance. Set the Charges is an unreleased song that I think has a riff that I remember from the Instrument documentary during one of the scenes where they're practicing. Afterwards, Ian says that their next album will be called "In Pieces." (At least I think that's what he says.) Cool show.
