No Thunderclap. It would've made an excellent album opener.

Major flaw: no break in Insignificance like the live ones. Well for that now we have a thousand versions, so thats ok.

Insignificance was another one that missed the mark. The studio version lacks the power of the live version (2000 Euro tour)

The break is terrible. Also, it is perfectly recorded. I don't think any live versions come close. Koln 2000 is really good though.

Koln 2000 was great & so was Pinkpop 2000

I don't think the famed b-sides are *better* than what's included, but they could have been added to make a longer album and I wouldn't complain

I love this album and if there is a PJ album I listen to most, this is probably it (I haven't LAL'd them in a long time).

My love of the album aside, I think the flaws are generally not going all in with the binaural recording technique, and leaving off some really great tunes. I think many here have pretty much said the same thing as well and if not that, then it generally seems to be something along the lines of "IT"S PERFECT YOU DICKHEADS".
