There is a video recording of this show on youtube, in 2 parts, here:

I just listened to the audio - it is amazing, such a big expansion of the band's repertoire and the sound quality is surprisingly good. At one point I could hear what sounded like rain and/or wind, i kept expecting the show to get cut short but Fugazi persevered and managed to play for about an hour and a half.

It includes many debut performances of songs from Argument, and Ex-Spectator with vocals (previously

performed quite a few times as an instrumental). Strangelight is recognisable but significantly different from the version that would eventually be recorded.

The audience is prominent and so are all the instruments, it sounds quite well balanced and the show has a pleasant, energetic atmosphere throughout.

I haven't watched the video yet but from what I've heard the light show is spectacular!
