03 Miles Davis (incl. Bass solo, Spoonful) [14:54] ��� cut at 5:26

Total time (after speed correction) 45.26 min

(pre speed-corrected hopboy/chill782002 version: TT - 46:54)

Notes:
We're having a different show from this band on this tracker (Torrent #512497 by michaelmee)
currently labeled as 1979 10 22 Hamburg DE (more tracks, poorer sound),
so we concluded at that time
that this better sounding fragment had to be from 1979 10 20 Bremen DE.

As we now know that the music in michaelmee's "Hamburg 1979 10 22" upload
is identical to the same heard in earlier DIME seeds of 1979 10 19 Frankfurt, Germany
(Torrent 291883 by goody from 2011 for instance)
it is again uncertain at this time whether this three-track fragment
really is from 1979 10 20 Bremen or possibly from 1979 10 22 Hamburg.
