Information

As with the two Earls Court gigs, this performance of Micro Cuts features and extended and slowed down outro. This was the only known instance post-2002 where Matt actually performed the descending vocals just before the riff at the end (until Royal Albert Hall 2018 where the vocals were performed again, albeit with the highest notes an octave lower).

At the very end of the gig, Matt reached an A#5.
