Great quality for an audience recording. The cover has a picture of a cloudy sky and trees in a forest with Sweet Torture written up one of the trees. No insert pictures. Definitely a worthwhile buy.
This is the best boot containing Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss me songs that I've ever heard. An especially excellent version of Like Cockatoos. Pick this one up if you like Kiss Me 3x...

THIS IS THE BEST KISSING TOUR BOOT EVER!! Why, you say? Because first off, this is definately not an audience recording, its a soundboard. Also, there has been so many other Kissing Tour booys that i've gone through that is not nearly as good as this one. Examples would be Perfect Kiss, this is a really good soundboard, but the playback is slowed down so much it sounds like the whole band is about to fall asleep! Its really annoying! Difficult to Cure is also pretty good, but was transferred from vinyl, so there's pops and ticks in the recording. Stained Glass Smile and Torture are also very good soundboards, but only half of these discs are from the Kissing Tour. Lastly, The Walk is exactly the same as Torture. So Sweet Torture it is! And what a great performance! Its all 'simply elegant!'

This is one of those rare finds in the world of unreleased recordings where sound quality and band performance are both at outstandingly high levels. Simply put, you can put this disc in your player and listen to it in it's entirety without having to adjust the eq or wonder why the band was having an off-night. There's a minor split-second dropout in the beginning of "The Kiss," but I think if it wasn't there, the disc would almost be too perfect. You won't find a better example from the Kissing Tour out there.
