The band performed in Europe across October and November ’03, after which they decamped to North America, playing in Montreal, Canada, New York and Connecticut, before the band’s final show of the year, which took place at the Atlantis Paradise Island Hotel in Nassau, The Bahamas on December 20th.A Sterling Bowie show, the performance was broadcast live across the USA and now features in its entirety on this new 2LP set.
