review by TIM BUCKNALL
Notes:
The recording is mostly clear but has some bass
distortion. There
are cuts between every song. The start of 'Poptones' and most of 'Bad
Baby' are sadly cut.
Review:
Boston was already the longest show of the
tour and the addition of the soundcheck is very welcome. You
can hear Keith & John asking for the levels to be turned
up.
There seems to be a few audience members attending the soundcheck as you can hear scattered applause between the songs.
A fascinating document from PiL's peak period: recommended…
