OK, here's the *only* part I don't buy about this.... you know that little
super-quiet guitar solo that Jimmy has in the song and then the band comes
crashing in afterwards?  Turn it up when he's playing the really quiet
part.... if its the concert version, you should hear *some* kind of audience
noise.  I mean, you can hear the pick of the string bounce off the back of the
wall of the Royal Albert Hall.  That sound should be absorbed by the bodies in
the arena.  Other soundboard bootlegs have audience noise picked up from the
stage mics in them; why should RAH be any different?  Even an occasional
whistle or yell....

Also, check the underlying sound in Robert's opening "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
be"... it sure sounds like an empty hall to me.... ;-P

Not that I want to get into any form of flame war about the proper dating and
placing of a song.... ;-P
