THIS TAPE CAME FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE/CONTACT SO I HAVE NO DOUBT IT IS CORRECT DATE.

themysticmuse notes: (2019-06-12)
I got this pretty decent sounding recording from a serious vantrader with unknown lineage. a big thanks to my fellow countrymen in the crowd for keeping quiet during the songs.

the two WAV files were split using audacity. metadata added to all tracks. no remastering has been made. artwork added. also found two photos from the actual concert taken by a swedish newspaper (the images had watermarks all over the photo which I tried cleaning up my best using photoshop).
ffp created for the flacs, md5 created to verify all files. enjoy!

Comments from original uploader:
Received this in a trade at least 25 years ago. Not that many recordings with this setup around. A shame, as Van Morrison and The Chieftans are a good fit!
So here is the second of two recordings in my collection. I hope you enjoy them.

I have three sources for this show, you can read the info here. You’ll want to look at that info because each source has different songs. Only one source has the rehearsals and I’m assuming they are the rehearsals for this TV appearance. The folder labels indicate this but the included text file does not match any of the actual FLAC files. If anyone can add clarification to this mess I’d appreciate it. – Mat
