<After Guitar and Pen on disc four the box set goes 
downhill. The 1989 tour had no balls. 

Huh?  It goes downhill after 90% (halfway through the fourth of four CDs?) of 
the set?  "Downhill" needs more than the slope of a driveway.  That's like 
saying Star Wars went downhill after they blew up the Death Star. What else 
should be on there?  Eminence Front is there, YBYB is there, and several 
solid live cuts.  Maybe the Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting finale is a 
bit questionable- but the sound and performance are still great and it's not 
like that's a bad song.  Never saw the 89 tour but everyone seems to be 
raving about the RAH DVD from 89, so how bad could the tour have been?
