NoteGeetarz Comments:

An excellent audience recording, with a super quiet crowd.

What really shines on this disc are the acoustic blues numbers, not quite as "polished" as the performances would be later on the tour.

The "rock" set on disc 2 is a bit lifeless, EC's performance on "White Room" is fairly uninspired and sloppy.

"Stone Free" features a nice little snippet of "Third Stone From the Sun" on the outro, but is otherwise forgettable.

The electric rock set really doesn't take off until the end, with a rousing performance of "Groaning the Blues", which finally brings some applause from the lifeless audience.

Second show of the UK Tour, after a warm-up show in Manchester, and the first of the 1994 run at the RAH.

The Premier release on the "Blackie" label, Blackie 01/02.

This is a different capture / source than "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" (Banzai), and a definite improvement IMO. One minor quibble ... this recording is missing EC's spoken introduction to the evening, which the Banzai version contains.
