Recording comments
Different source as the previously circulating source, this one also includes African Shuffle finally. Shame about the much too heavy noise reduction though.... :( [Jesper Moonen]

"African Shuffle" was recorded, it follows "Across the River" on my copy. [guam10]

Historical document.

Unique line-up and unique setlist. Youssou 'n Dour and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan guest on some of the songs.

The set is opened with a wonderful version of Across the River, which is different from the album and the 1983 tour version, but also not like the 1993/94 version.

The other highlight of the gig is a song introduced as Islamic Offbeat, which is a medley of Of These, Hope and Passion. This version is better than the later versions on the Human Rights Now! tour.

The set closes with another highlight, Biko, which is played in a very different arrangement. It starts just with a very vocal drone, and gradually builds up.

One other unique song was played during this gig, and it's such a pity that it was not recorded: African Shuffle, an early version of A Different Drum. [Jesper Moonen]
