Actually, those comments were not mine.  I reposted them from the Beatles Newsgroup before I found a copy for myself.  Since 
then I found a copy here (none in Atlanta).  The mix could be better for my part, John is buried most of the time.  It IS 
the PPV show 6/26/95, complete with the "What's my name" routine.  This show is from the early leg of the tour before they 
started playing My Wife, so that is why it isn't included.  I have heard that later shows were to be recorded specifically 
for a live release but these shows were cancelled after Ringo's daughter became ill.
