As is most commonly noted, 'A Nice Surprise' suffers from two things: first, the band does not seem as excited as most other shows (i.e., 'Une Nuit a la Mode'), and second, the sound is either mono or plain flat. If you increase the volume (considerably) though, the concert sounds great. Moreover, there is always the matter of Martin’s acoustic versions of “Little 15” and “Blue Dress.” There are rare and early DM songs, such as “Television Set,” “Ghost of Modern Time” and even “Dreaming Of Me,” however they are just that: early.
