LDB Special Series #267

Out of my 7,000+ shows and radio broadcasts, I have many concerts that were special for some reasons: the setlist, the
musicians, the venue or unexpected events. These are the ones I'd like to propose you. Most of these come from my
cassettes collection, so they will be released at a slower pace than my Master Series! But you won't be disappointed!
I will try to gather the most unusual things I have in my collection and, as always, your feedback and comments will be my
reward for all the work involved in this project.

DO NOT share this music on mp3, just convert it for your own use. Sharing mp3's is the right way to make me stop sharing
music here.

I really wanted to listen to some PMG so I picked up this 2 cd set that contained two shows (Vienne 2002 & Montreal 1998)
both broadcasted by france Inter. A dear friend recorded both using a Philips standalone CD burner which was connected to
the FM tuner. That was something typical of the late 90's / early 2000 when you wanted to capture the digital sound.
Unfortunately you could divide into tracks only on the run (while recording), so tracking happened to be inaccurate. Infact
the Vienne show was given to me with a clone of the original master cds on two tracks only. It was not so hard to re-track
correctly. There is a slightly difference in the sound quality of the first and the second half. It is possible that the
show was broadcasted in two parts.

But the music is magnificent and the band in great shape. I enjoyed the 2002 tour very much!

Enjoy!
