Dan's Album Review:

Helmet has always been a personal favorite, and this album was one that I endeavoured to find back when Helmet was still the media darling of alt-rock grunge label wars.

Sonically, every bootleg album I've ever bought has been disappointing, and this one is no exception. The recording is quiet and generally mono sounding, even though it seems to be a board recording. With that being said, whoever ran sound that night did a decent job, and for the most part all parts played are intelligible. If i had to guess, I'd say the crowd noise in between songs was added. The setlist incorporates tracks up through the Meantime album.
