Deane's Comments (rates this release 5/5.0)
The Sign "O" the times set had not been finalised when the first of these rehearsals was played as 'Strange relationship' and 'U got the look' - neither of which were played on the tour - are still being rehearsed. By the time of the second rehearsal they had been dropped and replaced by 'Let's go crazy' and 'When doves cry', and these were the last changes to the set before the tour got underway. Two excellent rehearsals in superb sound - can't really ask for more than that.
