This is so far the best live recording of Fugazi I have heard. It is a perfect showing of their abilites as an amazing live act as well as their strange form of crowd banter. It opens, unsuprisingly, with Ian welcoming the crowd and telling everybody to be cool because the they convinced the bouncers of Irving Plaza to remove the barriers blocking the stage. Then, with no hesitation, they go right into "Turnover" from Repeater. Classics such as "Public Witness Program", "Exit Only", "Repeater", "Shut the Door" and an extended version of "Suggestion", among many others...
It is quite a good recording and any fan of Fugazi should be excited to have this live show.
