Comments

Very good recording, pretty similar to the 'T in the Park 1998'. Again, not perfectly clean, but very clear and sharp. I'd say sound quality places in the borderline VG / Exc. There's a bit more of crowd noise in this one, with stray voices audible from time to time. I guess this probably was taped by the same guy / equipment that the 'T in the Park 1998', but that's unverified, though.

 

Rock'n'Roll is the so-called '1998 version'. The band played a cover of Ghost Town, the song by The Specials. This is the famous show where Maxim explains before Smack My Bitch Up that the band received a phone call by the Beastie Boys, requiring not to play that song, but Maxims adds that 'they do what the fuck they want'.
