There are several permutations of this show. This one has its faults, like some mic troubles towards the end of Sweet Jane, track 10 is abruptly cut off and audience noise is simply tacked on to fade-out, plus a screwed up tracklist. Funny, but after White Light/White Heat, Lou actually says "good night," which would have led to a long audience applause and the encore - Sister Ray.

There is a complete version of this show out there (which I do NOT own), but this is how "Waiting For Lou" was put together. The concert order was actually 5, 6, 1, 2, (Heroin - missing), 9, 7, 8, 10, 3, 4.

Now, all that criticism aside, this is a superb soundboard mix. Everyone is LOUD and clear - what a way to kick off the tour! (This was the first show of the Sally Can't Dance Tour). Danny Weis's guitar is amazing and simply dances all around Lou's vocals without overpowering them, occasionally slipping from funk into a bit of country (listen to Track 5 at 3:53)!
