In Q issue 263 Matt described this gig as "one that stood out" due to the production being very limited (only balloons and lights). He also noted that he wanted to do more of these "stripped down shows" in amongst the "monster shows" in the future.

This show is notable for the last time Soldier's Poem was played live.
