Interview
The concert features 9 tracks from the then new album not 7. Only Eat Me Alive is missing from the set.
I’m looking forward to this strictly for the 2 live CDs. My current copies suffer from bad bootleg mastering even though they were supposedly taken from the FM tapes.

When are the long lost Pwl sessions coming!
