Comments

Second of two nights at Cow Palace, in the town of Daly City, in the outskirts of San Francisco. This is an excellent audience recording that brings a powerful sound and a great capture of both music and vocals. Clarity is pretty good and the only drawback is a bit of crowd noise near the taper here and there. This is a big upgrade to other versions in circulation. To me, a strong show with lots of snippets here and there.
