Notes

A very good audience recording. In comparison to the previously available source, this audio is much less hissy, significantly clearer, and plays at the correct speed. However, three seconds of music from the beginning of Oberkorn (It's A Small Town), one second before the beginning of Leave In Silence, and about one minute of audience noise after Photographic are absent on this tape, but were present in the previous source. The cassette's exact generation is unknown but is assumed to be of low generation.

Unfortunately, "Just Can't Get Enough" was not recorded, probably due to a late tape flip.

Many thanks to Pascal K. from Madrid - Spain for generously providing this cassette for archival, and thanks to the unknown taper who originally recorded the concert.
