Geetarz Comments: 

This was the first show of the 1979 tour, and the first gig with new band member Albert Lee. This is a soundboard recording, not to be confused with the high generation audience recording in circulation. EC gets a bit lost in the first verse of Crossroads, but finishes off with some great solos. The band is plagued by some sort of PA/Equipment problems during "Key to the Highway". The show features a nice hot performance of "Carnival", with some nice swirly Hammond B3.
