Since I did NOT record this show and did not attend this
concert, this is going to be very short and sweet. I
downloaded this from STG (I think) around 9/13/2006.
I finally got a chance to listen to almost all of it
very recently and found it to be a great-sounding show.
This was back before one had to furnish an ffp file, so
I had to create two ffps, retrack the files for continuity's
sake and write an updated info file. I fixed a dropout in
PAAE and deleted some needless applause. During Knife Edge,
the fire alarm went off in the venue and this can be heard
clear as a bell in the recording. It's a whoop-whoop sound
that gets very annoying very quickly so I deleted what I
could from that track. No music was deleted. The SQ is
great and there is virtually NO talking close to the taper.
A very nice show that was upped by a complete unknown. With
no direction home. Like a rolling stone. Thank you unknown
uploader. For the psycho completists out there, I DID
include the unabridged version of Track 02 which I called
Track 16. If you like, you can listen to the whoop-whoop
fire alarm until your brains leak out of your nose. Or you
can just delete it. The choice is yours. All in all, a
wonderful show depicting 1993-era ELP. Collect 'em all.
Trade 'em out. Tell your friends. That's about all that I
can think of to tell you, so let's get this show on the
road...

Finally, please don't buy, sell or convert this show to mp3 or
any other lossy format. Please seed this as long as you can.
Please trade this freely as it is relatively uncirculated. This
show will be a welcome addition to any ELP fan's collection.
I will post a sample to help some of you decide whether or not
to download this but believe me when I say that it's really
not needed. So, as Mr. Natural is so fond of saying, have fun,
don't freak out and enjoy the concert! Have a Happy New Year!!!
