Bootleg Review

Sound Quality: C
Crackling and swirls around quite a bit. Drums are too low in the mix too. It is listenable though.

Performance Quality: D
A flat, subdued performance, Ian’s vocals being very bad for the time and the guitar keeps cutting out. Ian does complain that the band couldn’t hear what they were playing on stage, so this could be the reason.

One thought on “Birmingham Irish Centre ’89 (aka “Hype!”)”

  1. If you own this (as I do) you are not playing it, and certainly not for the music/recording quality. To me this is a priceless piece of Rose’s History…
