I found a good review here:

The first time I'd seen John Cale live and one of the first times I used my Core Sound
Binaurals. I'd fashioned a makeshift holder from a q-tip so that might explain any rustling
sounds you may hear. I've toned the applause sections down by -3db to get them to a tolerable level.
Other than fades up and down, that's the only adjustment I've made.

A cracking night, a cracking performance and some interesting instrumentation. Flute and touches
of Spanish guitar.

I learned a lesson this night - bring more than one disc so that you catch the encores!
Unfortunately I missed them, but that shouldn't spoil your enjoyment too much.
