Additional comments :
Pretty nice sound quality.
It features the only known performance of In my car, debuts of Bernadette (written by and sung by David Knopfler) and Twisting by the pool.
This version is complete, with Wild west end and the complete intro of Down to the waterline.
Some tape hiss and there is a bit distortion during the loud parts of the show.
The remaster consists of the alteration of the tone and of the speed of the tape, a readjustment of the EQ.
emphasizing bass and high, and the new one balanced in the tracks 2,3 and 4 of cd2, due to a faint of balances in the original tape.
tracks 5 and 6 of cd2 are not affected by this remastered, since they come from another recording tape.
Apart from that, a very nice 1979 recording.
