Recording comments
There seems to be a lot of digital clipping and distortion. [itty12]
Correction: This as actually due to the source used. There is little digital distortion and more issues with the vinyl used. [itty12]

Recording comments
Rare performance of The Knife on this tour
Beware of a very bad sounding different source (C-/D+). Although that one has Whodunnit uncut. [earlofgenesis]
Not the best sounding recording for this tour, but decent. Important show for historical reasons, as this show was source for the major part of the Three Sides Live release. [kaspergm]
I think the B+ rating is mainly because the recording is a little distant, but I was surprised by the clarity of the show captured on tape! It definitely sounds better than the rating implies...and as mentioned above, the performance may be the highlight of the Abacab tour (along with Cincinnati), and provided much of the final takes for the 3SL album. Throw in the singular performance of "The Knife" on the tour and you have a show well worth getting your hands on. [rkipp]
