In the spirit of the schnuckelpferd master series, I am proud to present the next show. It is a rare and nice show from different guitar heroes in a small venue in Heidelberg.

Note: At the show, I write down which musician plays at the stage, but I think it was not 100% correct. Please fill the lost song titles or correct, if it's wrong.

At the moment no cover [because] I have not the whole setlist. Maybe I will do it later.

The sound is ex/ex-. Full power of guitars.

Enjoy it.

This is the best, most complete show from the 1989 Night of the Guitars tour that I've heard. (The only other recording I've heard is a highly abridged compilation from Rome and Milan titled "A Guitar Night in Italy.")

Many thanks to Dime user Rasensteine who originally taped and shared this show. As noted above, he tried to keep track of which musicians played on each song, but the list is probably not complete. Given the show, that must have been difficult to do while recording and enjoying the show.

This re-seeding is a collaboration between Dime user Maddrax and myself. He spent a lot of time and effort to identify songs and make this info file as complete and correct as possible. (He originally attended this show as well.) Many, many thanks!

There is some confusion about the true name of this tour. The official album is "Night Of The Guitar Live!" The original info file for this show called it "Night Of The Guitars." Maddrax found a ticket for the show with the name "Night Of Guitars." Most references to this tour online call it "Night Of The Guitars," so that it what I have used for this reseeding.

NOTE: None of this show was used in the officially released "Night of the Guitar Live!" album. Be sure to check out that album and the associated Guitar Speak albums:
