Excessive audience noise ruins this album for me. It may serve the purpose of demonstrating they were playing stadiums, but it's just too much.

I've not checked all the timings, but at least one track (Fantasy is Reality) has it's time listed wrongly on the label. It's listed as 5:45, but it's actually closer to 6:41.
