Notes
This concert was broadcast by Swiss radio station DRS3 in its entirety except for the instrumental intro. Westwood One also recorded this concert and CD and LP versions exist; both have fake crowd noise and poorly edited intros for some songs to account for commercials interspersed between tracks. However, the Westwood One recordings arguably have the best sound out of any recording.
There are a couple other bootlegs of this FM broadcast:
- "Badlands"[1][2] - sourced from a Westwood One promotional pre-FM CD; this CD has commercials interspersed throughout the recording, fake crowd noise at the beginnings of songs, and some songs' beginnings poorly edited to account for the commercials

Sources
- Source 1 is a very good sounding FM broadcast sourced from the 2xCD "Performance" bootleg. It sounds a little muffled, perhaps due to the noise reduction system used, but is overall the most consistent sounding and complete version.
- Source 2 is an incomplete raw FM recording from the bootleg "I'll Never Get Enough".
- Source 3 is the Westwood One recording mentioned above, sourced from the promotional CD and remastered by biashead. It is perhaps the best sounding one, but has fake crowd noise and poorly edited intros to some songs (which is why "Performance" is considered source 1 as it's the most consistent and complete version).
