Comments: A complete show, with a few minor breaks that sound like the taper might have been having the occasional issue with his mics after he stopped and started taping between performers. The cuts missed the performers' dedications to Timothy White. The MSG crowd is your typical large American bunch--enthusiastic when they hear good music and not reluctant to show it. Loud and intrusive in other words.

FRP notes:
This is a compilation of 3 events Roger performed at last fall (2002). The first was a benefit for fox hunting at the Royal Albert Hall, the second is the first night of a 3 night stand by Jeff Beck at the Royal Festival Hall, and the third was the Timothy White benefit from New York. Only parts of each event are included here. Some for lack of interest and other do to poor sound quality (unruly audience).
