Comments

Great recording of a very nice show. This was the so-called "Save the Yuppies concert", a free and impromptu concert in San Francisco, in the middle of its financial area. 

This is a somewhat bass-dominated recording that brings excellent sound quality. All instruments have been very well captured, and vocals (and bass) sound prominent in the mix. Music really sounds powerful, loud. Crowd noise is not an inconvenience, being only audible between songs. All Along the Watchtower was used in Rattle and Hum (both album and film). The band played a very agressive rendition of Silver and Gold.

There is a noticeable volume adjustement in the recorder at the beginning of All Along the Watchtower. A tiny edit can be found after Helter Skelter, that only affects to crowd noise.
