My friend MA recorded this show. I contacted him a few months ago `cause I wanted to know, if he would give me his master tapes to transfer. He said that all his tapes were at his friends basement for years `til his friends dad decided to throw the tapes in the garbage (!!!).
You don`t want to know what jewels he had in his collection. Aaaargh !
Anyway - this transfer is from 1st gen (or call it the new master).
The quality is really, really good. The show was great, too ...I can tell `cause I was there :).
A scan of the ticket is enclosed.
I still don`t know why these boys didn`t get as big as U2.
Best
Bobfather
