J.V.Tol additional Comments :


Excellent audience recording; the best of the London 1996 RAH "Golden Heart" concerts.

Great versions of a lot of songs!!

some rare songs like "Vic and Ray" and "Are we in trouble now".

Electra Strings joining the band on some songs

special guest Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings on "Water of love". ( the "'96 new version")

Also included a bonus song from other concerts; "No can do" from the day after this concert,

"You really got me" played by Jim Cox on accordion from Münich same year,

and three different versions of "Hawaiian lullaby".
One live version and two different pre-recorded tape versions that was played also in Münich.

Tripod (ds-trade) Comments:


Absolutely perfect audience recording!

This is without any doubt the best audience recording I've ever heard.

The sound quality is so good that you might think it's a soundboard recording.

The concert is great as well (as always), with some rather rare songs like Vic and Ray and Are We In Trouble Now.

The extra tracks from Munich and London are very nice too, with three versions of Hawaiian Lullaby and a short piece of You Really Got Me, played by Jim Cox on his "Rock Accordion".

This is a must have recording.

Knopflerlive-comment:

Great show, great guitarplaying, great quality!!!

Excellent Darling Pretty, ImeldaThe Bug, Sultans of Swing. David Rawlings and an unkown woman (which was a support of this MK show) joined the band on Water of Love (anyway, wonderful performance of this song, she sings as a backing vocal)

.............. WOW I cannot tell what i feel when I listen to this recording. I have just nothing to say more. It's perfect.

Rare songs,

EXTREMELY GREAT PERFORMANCES.

Just clear perfection.

It's the best bootleg from Golden Heart tour and one of my best bootlegs ever.
