Additional notes (by JEMS): I finally got the chance to transfer a few tapes I picked up during my last trip to the JEMS archive a couple of months ago. This is the second night in Oakland Stadium. This master is very unlikely to have ever circulated and the quality is very good though it suffers, like many Popmart shows, from what is to my ears excessive audience noise, especially the persistent whistler. But if you take that away it is close and clear and fairly powerful.

Comments

This is a second source of the second night in Oakland (CA, USA). JEMS said it all with his notes above: the output is pretty strong and clear, although there's some crowd noise here and there, with whistling and clapping near the taper. Sound may be tiny distant on a few occasions, but the overall capture is excellent. There is a good amount of distortion during Pop Muzik, as if the recording levels were too loud, but once the band take the stage to kick in with Mofo this issue is corrected. Note I prefer this source over the other I have of this show, as this one sounds more polished.
