Notes
- This was recorded on the March
30, 2007 gig at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, hence the
name.
- There is a companion DVD
release to go with this.
- There are actually three
releases. The 2 CD set, the DVD release, and a combination
pack with some tour memorabilia (a tour program, backstage laminate,
glossy photos of the band and other tour items) available only
through Rhino's website.
- The set list was originally
going to be longer than this, but problems with union workers in New
York city caused the set list to not be what it was supposed to be.
Here's an email from Geezer Butler about that situation:
Unfortunately Radio City was the only
night we could have played the extended set, but as has been documented,
the unions were so strict, we were only allowed 15 minutes for sound
check- that includes all instruments, balances, monitors, p.a., lights,
camera angles etc. We didn't actually have time to run through ear in
the Wall, which was the only song missing from the final show. To
include that at some other time would mean bringing the whole video
crew, sound truck and engineers etc, which would be unfeasible for one
track. Blame the unions, not us- at least we did an unrehearsed Lonely
is the Word [and just in case you didn't know, its a federal offense to
disobey the unions, because it comes under safety laws- which means we
could have been arrested as well as fined millions of dollars-go
figure!].
Unfortunately, i agree with most unions
because they give workers rights, without which we'd all be working as
slaves.
