There's some great unreleased and rare songs here. It was pretty visionary to be writing songs about terrorism in 1986, and what a great lyric, "I can't hide the tears I cried, you say that God is on your side" (Island Of Roses). "Romance In Time" was another good one that never happened. This show also features some real rare ones, "Misty Clover" a Randy solo one on keyboards, and "Out On a Limb". "Out On A Limb" was written for a Shirley MacLaine TV Special, and looked like it would be on there, only to have it dumped at the last minute for some old time 40's ballad. They were likely never performed again after this tour. There are some odd microphone noises here and there, rubbing against something, but nothing much over any of the music.
