Comments

Another excellent tape of the second night in Philadelphia (PA, USA). Sound is powerful and pretty close. Moreover, sound quality and the final output are quite similar on the two recordings I have from this concert. And I'd even say that both tapers might be located really close from each other. However, I've compared both tapes and they are NOT from the same source, although amazingly, disc lengths are identical (but not track lengths).
