Show notes: 24 countries and 130 shows later, the final show of the Monster
tour is here. According to newspaper reports, there was only 2 Atlanta shows
originally planned, with a third show ruled out. Demand must have persuaded
them to add this show, and presumably there was a gap between the second
and third shows because the Omni was unavailable on the Monday 20th.
While the first 2 shows sold out quickly, tickets were still available for this one
on the day of the show. Which is a shame, because it has the best setlist out
of the the three. What can we do to make the end of the tour special?
Fall On Me? Check. So. Central Rain? Yep. The only performance of Radio Free
Europe for the tour? Sure why not! Wild Thing like it's 1985? Sure!
As if to prove a point that Peter's guitar solo dictates the level of intensity
of the show, here it lasts for 1 minute and 46 seconds, the longest of the tour
by a long way, and a good 30 seconds longer than the tour average.
A very fitting send off for the tour. An amazing soundboard recording!
