I got this show as 2 CDR's in a trade years ago.

Ripped to Hard drive using EAC and only recently encoded to FLAC using FLAC front end.Traders Little helper provided .torrent file.

Hope it works for you.

This was Allan's first tour of Australia. I remember seeing it advertised in a few papers at the time so I couldn't wait to go.No internet or online ticket sales.I went to the "Corner" at lunchtime to buy my ticket and saw Allan and the chaps rehearsing for the show.

Support was from Virgil Donati and Jack Jones.There was meant to be a bass player but he didn't make it for some reason so the pair just played some instrumentals and Jack sang a few songs.I'd seen Vigil play before with Loose Change and he was amazing.Jack and Virgil went on to become part of a 90's pop/rock band Southern Sons.Jack is now known by his birth name Irwin Thomas.

Allan and the chaps were amazing and put on a great show.Weird for me as I was probably the only non musician in the audience.A few people called out for Allan to play Metal Fatigue and UK stuff I recall.Allan politely said he didn't play that stuff anymore,but it didn't matter,he's moved on and had some amazing music and great players with him.Allan looked nervous and seemed to be critical of himself at times.Can'tlly tell it sounded good to me!(I saw him in 2002 and was more relaxed)

The tracklist is pretty much as I remember.My favourite moments were Non Brewed Condiment,Pud Wud and Gary's drum solo.
