Air this one out and enjoy the ever-changing soundscapes. "Outstanding"-- Dick Latvala

As Dick himself said of how this China Cat is born, "[it] is worth any effort to hear."

Come on!!! Mickey busted through his drum head making this one happen!!!

Conjures circus tents, smoky saloons and Frankenstein in a souped-up '57 Chevy. Well worth a listen!

I love what Phil does on this one. This thing is short and sweet.

The problems with this AUD are weak vocals and, as someone on the archive said, a bit 'splashy' with cymbal noise. Of course, many SBDs from this era have problems, as well. And there is the problem of WOS SBDs, in particular--a common complaint being that they sound too boxey and din't capture the Wall's rich sound. But AUDs sometimes could capture more of the Wall's 'natural' sound and this is maybe the best Wall AUD I've ever heard (despite the problems that I mentioned). The guitars sound great, Phil's lower ends are warmer and deeper than many boards from this era and Keith is well-captured and clearly audible. Of interest, Dick Latvala said that this show isn't in the vault (as of 1998), so this is the best sounding version out there. Don't wait, snag this AUD in lossless.

Great version. What is the version of this show to get to store in my own vault?

Although I am not enamored with the AUD, this is a great version. I am surprised that it is not regarded/known more.

Also, check out the transition from Space to Eyes in this show--very cool. The Eyes also has Bobby (I think--gotta check again) doing some weird things during the verses. Unfortunately, I wouldn't necessarily call the rest of the tune (solos, etc.) 'heady'.

This one's a lot of fun and, while the St. Stephen quotes are super, they aren't the only thing good about this one.
