Comments

A really powerful and sharp recording with excellent sound quality overall. Music and vocals sound close and strong. The performance by the band is also brilliant, so this tape is pretty enjoyable. Audience noise is generally located between songs, with some cheering and individual voices here and there, but never being overwhelming. There's a bit of warbling on a few occasions, probably due to tape degradation.

I Will Follow was stopped due to heavy pushing in the front rows, and after taking care and asking everybody to move back, the band re-started the song.
