Comments:
This recording is one I knew about for a while when the taper contacted me some time ago but it took almost a year to finally get. Not because the taper held back but his masters were sent for transfer to another person who spent some time doing all of his recordings. Its a very rare recording that the taper shared once he received and probably one of the earliest and best recordings done from the bands first round of shows from ’97. Its a real treat to finally get this and the equipment used was much better than many of those made for its time so the quality is quite excellent. Everything’s upfront and very clear, certainly one of the top 2, if not the best audience recordings from this year.
