NOTES:
Source 1a was used for most of the show. It’s the best out there, athough incomplete, and the
sound quality is a bit lesser in the second part (with a bit of hiss).
This source was torrented at Dime in january 2010 by borispider (traded CDRs).
Source 1b is from the same recording, but includes more of the show (except the very end). It was
used for the beginning of the concert, most of Sparks, The Acid Queen, Fiddle About,
Summertime Blues, My Generation.
This source is from unknown CDRs.
Source 2 is from an average but still clear recording, and sounds very compressed (either a very
lossy conversion or a heavy noise reduction). It was used for the end of Dremaing From The Waist,
the beginning of Sparks, the intro to Pinball Wizard and the bridge between Roadrunner and WGFA.
This source is from unknown CDRs
Source 3 is the worst sounding of the four, and was used only for the 4 beats introducing Won’t Get
Fooled Again, which I didn’t find on any of the other versions.
This source is from a 1st gen cassette (previously uncirculating).
All sources were processed with more or less EQ, especially source 1a and 1b which were quite dull
