Recording comments
Coaster Factory Remaster.

I find the flanging effect on this one very annoying. Try Hogweed 07 (Academy of Music, NYC, 4 May 1974) for a much better audience recording from the second leg of the Selling England tour. [pablo]
Show memories
During the story of The musical box, someone in the audience shouts at Peter "Your mother eats shit !" and something else after that is not clear. Peter answers "My mother does not eat shit". After some audience applause, Phil adds "There's also a bar…" I guess inviting the offender to leave the venue and drink his strangely-originated anger away. [Eduardo de Udaeta]

Recording comments
To be exact, Gabriel's response is "My mother does not eat shit."in a deadpan voice, hence the title of another version of this show. Good recording, by the way. [assureaseggsiseggs]
Show memories
First time I can remember Peter quoting a date for the croquet mallet head bashing while telling the Henry and Cynthia story, April 7, 1896. A significant date in history? [blackpage]

Recording comments
Artwork claims Supper is from 02-Mar-72, clearly wrong. Also claims Hogweed is from 10-Nov-72.

The unintellegible thing the heckler yells after "your mother eats shit" is "shut the f*ck up". [PantagruelPoseidon]
