Yeah, I'm also digging the live disc. I picked it up yesterday at the local 
Virgin MegaDoucheStore (I had to ask for it as they don't seem to get around 
to putting out new releases until Tuesday afternoon or evening it seems).

I can't say the live recording itself is much better than a decent audience 
bootleg but the performances and some of Jaz's rants make up for it.
