The review

This new release presents the very first US show from Houston in April 2024 that has just come out after having been announced 2 months ago. The sound output is clear enough although lacking some bass frequencies, packaging is superb with a trifold gatefold cover and luxurious color vinyl. The band plays well enough for being the first date of the tour, the new songs seem to have been liked by the audience although at times played quite differently from the studio versions
