Comments

This tape documents the last night in Dortmund, and the third of three masters by Rasensteine. This one is very similar to the other two masters, as it brings a very clear and solid sound, but this time music and vocals sound closer, more upfront and a little crisper. Again, crowd noise is audible, but not too detracting and they add a very nice live feeling. To me, this is the finest of the three masters by Rasensteine.

All Along the Watchtower needed to be re-started after a false start. After the encore, Bono got some voice problems, especially on Love Rescue Me, so the band ran into a short set omitting "40". Reports said lots of people in the audience walked away frustrated as the show only lasted 75 minutes.
