Comments

First of two consecutive nights in Birmingham. It comes off the master cassettes, and it offers a great and very crisp. Music and vocals come through powerful, clear and well upfront. Audience is quite noisy, but not too disturbing, and add nice participation to the concert.

There are a pair of noticeable edits. The first one is located between Sunday Bloody Sunday and Exit, that cuts off the very first seconds of the second song. Another one occurs between Pride and Party Girl.
