    You also get to hear Alan [tripping up]...

            "Thank you."
            "Here's another song from Eye in the Sky."
            (nervous laugh)
            "Er... Friendly Card.  That's right.  Sorry."
            (nervous laugh)
            "Turn of a Friendly Card - getting my albums mixed up."
            (nervous laugh)
            "This is called Time..."

        Anyway, you *know* there must be some fans in the audience
        when they manage to clap along to the bass line at the start
        of The Raven.

    USA release notes:
    ------------------
    Cover:  Spilled red liquid on blue table that looks suspiciously like "AP".

    Misc:   Additional 3 studio recorded tracks, including "Take The Money
            And Run," the first track featuring Stuart Elliott on vocals.
            Also, the order of the live tracks has been switched around a bit.
