Note: This date was originally scheduled as the opening night of the Dynasty Tour. However, the show was cancelled, and the date was used instead for a full dress rehearsal, which is what this recording reflects. It's very cool to hear the banter and discussion between songs, even as a predictor of what was to come later on the tour (Paul saying: 'Peter - you're half a beat behind us!'). The recording is mostly complete although the end of 'Black Diamond' is missing.
Note that this recording is sometimes passed off by ignorant traders (or traders who are deliberately misleading you) as being from the opening night on 15th June. A simple listen, especially between tracks, easily proves that this is a rehearsal and not a full live show.
Tickets do exist to this show (see below), as tickets did go on sale before the date was cancelled. The tickets were subsequently honoured at the 15th June show.
Ticket:
Note - see above. Tickets sold for 14 June show were subsequently honoured at 15th June show, and 14th June was used as a dress rehearsal only.
