My own thoughts on the RAH show at the time was that the audience was 
not wholly a typical Who audience (as you would expect for the nature 
of the show and perhaps the venue). I was standing on the floor to 
the right of the stage and an awful lot of people unfortunately 
remained sitting for large parts of the show even near the front. In 
a way it was not as a responsive audience as you would normally get 
but I must say that this doesn't seem to come over on the DVD and to 
my mind has been brillantly edited and produced. 

There was an intermission and the show restarted with Drowned from 
the best of my recollection and looking at the DVD. This again didn't 
detract from a great show on the night, and whilst it didn't have the 
power and danger of say, Manchester, I don't think many punters came 
away unhappy. My memory of the event is only enhanced by the DVD. 

Roger.
