This was one of six shows I recorded on the UK leg of the BOOS tour, and one of the best performances. The venue was a short ride on the Metro from Newcastle, and we speculated about whether the ice might melt under so many people...hehehe. It's too long ago to remember for sure, but I expect in this standing venue, I would have tried to get as close as discretely possible to the soundboard (or as close as possible to RB), but given a venue not built for acoustic performance, the recording isn't too bad. You can judge for yourselves.
