Geetarz Comments:
A really nice audience recording, and particularly fun when auditioned on a nice set of headphones. Includes a standout performance of "Have You Ever Loved a Woman", easily one of the finest of the 2004 Tour, complete with a key change not found in most versions the band played. "Cocaine" lacks a bit of enthusiasm and doesn't quite stand up to later versions, but the band more than make up for this with a spirited "Layla" in which Doyle takes the lead solo, spurring EC onwards a bit. Some slight diginoise at the end of "Sheriff" mars an otherwise impeccible recording.
