Comments: Recorded on the last night of the 1991 run at the Royal Albert Hall, this is a nice clear audience recording. The piano, for instance, sounds great in "Hard Times." Unfortunately, there is also a lot of room echo which makes the band seem very distant and indistinct at times. Still, a worthwhile recording. The orchestra doesn't perform the "Blue Moon" intro to "Sunshine of Your Love", as performed in the 1990 shows.
