Comments JBrasme:

Perfect soundboard recording.

This concert was recorded for a live performance on WDR Radio.

Musically, it's very good, rough songs.

Some jokes of Knopfler.

Enlight note:

I'll keep it short...........a must have!!

the bonus tracks has a bit less quality, but hey they came with the package.

complete cover scans included (front/back/inlay/inside)
notice that cover art is a bit confusing, it also says rockpalast the 16th
and it seems that Alan Clark and Hall Lindes (inside cover) already joined the band (which was not)


Take care and keep buzzin'
