Comments

A brilliant tape of the second of five nights in Los Angeles (CA, USA). This recording is overall pretty crisp and solid. Clarity and cleanness are both very good, too, so sound quality is great. Sound begins somewhat distant but by Still Haven't Found it comes through strongly. This tape contains a little more crowd noise than, for example, the recording of the next night (20-April-1987), but it is always placed in the background, or between songs, just to add a fantastic live feeling. Another nice tape of this show is in circulation (a 2nd cassette to CDR), but this recording by Brother KM brings a more full sound. There are a pair of edits, the most noticeable occurs before "40", as it makes the song to cut in.
