From Underground Uprising:
This show rivals the Zurich show from the previous night for the best of their final tour. They attack each number with special urgency giving an amazing glimpse into what they were trying to accomplish for their revamped sound for the 1980s. What is immediately striking about this show is their special determination to lay down new conquests! There are many highlights in this show: In The Evening (very bombastic), All My Love (very tender), White Summer (with Page trying to do crowd control), and Trampled Underfoot (pure genius). Moreover, we are treated to the special encore: Money (with Atlantic Record Exec Phil Carson on bass), although Plant’s voice sounds very raw. Plant even extends Whole Lotta Love into a short medley, just like the old days. The recording is an excellent, three-dimensional soundboard.
