The Outside-heavy opening gives the concert a strong frame, while the older songs and assured performances keep it from feeling like a straight album run-through.

What we noticed

  • After “Look Back in Anger,” four consecutive tracks come from Outside, keeping the opening stretch inside the album’s dark, fractured sound world.
  • “Andy Warhol,” “Breaking Glass” and “The Man Who Sold the World” pivot from the new material to older songs before the set returns to Outside tracks.
  • The closing run moves through “Joe the Lion,” “Nite Flights” and “Under Pressure” before ending on “Teenage Wildlife.”

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
