All thanks to DIMENEW for this really fine recording, done some 27+ years ago. Really nothing disturbing on this recording except that this is not a stage edge recording, but
rather a bit away, and, of course - the boomy sound inside the location (a huge bricked former factory building) wasn't adding anything good to the overall venue sound. Fortunately
there are almost no distortions on this tape, and if somebody likes to make this better, feel free to do!

This is a nice vintage POGUES recording, freshly transferred from the original master tape. Though I've never been a fan of them, and most likely will never be, the athmosphere
of this show is great. If it wasn't for the known sound limitations of the TOR 3, this would've made a fantastic tape. The audience is simply giong nutz on almost every single track
played here, and I guess the barmaids couldn't really sped up filling the plastic cups fast enough. I remember some stories from local friends that the almost hometown Pogues fanclub
in Warendorf charted busses to carry people to concerts in Muenster or anything nearby. Like to watch your favourite football club...Weird! Well I was asked once or twice, but as you
read before, not really my music (not psychedelic enough!), so I refused to take the offer. Anyway, there might be some people out there who will love this tape, and so there's no
reason to keep it left on the shelves. Get yourself a BIG pint of Kilkenny or Guiness and some double shots of fine irish malt, and...enjoy! SB.
