My Rating:  A

Great recording quality.  Everything is really clear and full-sounding.  It does not sound like this recording hit analog at all.  This is a really interesting show.  It is sort of funny because Dale is really not on throughout.  He fucks up on Tipping The Lion, and loses time here and there.  Night Goat has an excessively extended intro and outro, one of the longest versions of the song ever played (and quite possibly the best).  Specimen isn't really Specimen, but that was the closest I could come up with for that jam of noise.  The Bloat Reprise is basically the bassline from the beginning of the song played by Buzz very quietly to Dale's backup drumming.  This is a really intricate Melvins show, full of all kinds of wierd little noises and odd versions of great songs.  A trip from start to finish.  I highly recommend this show.
