Deane's Comments (rates this release 5/5.0)
The February
rehearsal has better sound than the 'Bonus Tracks' from November. A nice
document of the Sign O The Times rehearsals with a few surprises. Fairly average
packaging, for Moonraker, with some nice period shots. A must have for those of
us who like to listen to rehearsals.

Well,
this site may tend to be biased toward rehearsals it seems. Oh well, get over
it. If you don't like it then you can make your own site. ;) Just kidding.
Really though, Deane and I tend to agree on at least one thing. Rehearsals often
offer some of the most interesting material, and when you can get great quality
rehearsals like this one it makes it hard for anyone to argue otherwise.

This rehearsal
provides a nice insight into how the 1987 concerts were originally planned, as
songs from the Sign "O" the times album dominate the set.
Between the time of this rehearsal and the start of the tour the set had
undergone quite a few changes; several of the tracks rehearsed here - 'The
ballad of Dorothy Parker', 'Starfish and coffee;, 'U got the look' and
'Strange relationship' - were dropped, while others - 'Little red Corvette',
'Girls and boys', 'Let's go crazy', 'When doves cry', 'Purple rain' and '1999'
were added. The show rehearsed here would have been one for the hardcore fans
due to the lack of hits and popular classics, and no hardcore fan will be
disappointed by this bootleg.
