Quality: Truly a rare EX
========================
I has a recent request to repost this, my first ever upload, but it was clear that I could improve sound
quality with the tools and knowledge I've learnt, so whilst I said it was as good as the official CDs, it now
sounds really fantastic and much better to these ears than those CDs now, so please...
...Enjoy !!
Original info (with revised track times) >>>
This is a terrific performance, largely consisting of numbers from their first CD (Spirit of Nuff...Nuff),
but with a lot more power, bite and dynamics, showing the benefit of maturing perfomances through touring.
Quality of the transfer is about as good as it gets and is virtually indistinguishable from the the
quality (and hiss levels) on their 2nd CD release
