Presented here:
long version completed with the missing tracks from shorter version and additional fills.
Half a year ago this show came up in the Samples Section, six Samples from the long and short version were prepared and seeded.
It was very difficult to choose one or another. As flambay pointed out somewhere: "all of them sounding equally or similarly good (or poor, depending your mood of the day or your current audio equipment set-up ...)". In the meantime, decisions were never made.
Recently I gave my transfers to flambay to work them out further and guess, he did send me back a fully patched version.
So we thought it would be allright to seed this version. It might not be the best sounding available around (we still can't tell), but at least the fantastic Hartford show is on the tracker now.
We're sure you'll like it! This show is smoking, Some heavy guitar solo's, specially the two in The Torture! I like the melodic 2nd solo here as one of the best from FZ.
(Wonder what review ZappaPenguin could give us about that guitar solo...)
