| J-Card Comment | Excellent audience recording -- probably the best I've heard from this era. I got this in trade in roughly 1998, I think; it is relatively common in trading circles but I've never seen it on BitTorrent. This recording is outstanding, but tragically, it was converted to 32 kHz somewhere along the way. However, it is NOT lossy (in the mp3 sense of the term) -- I know this to be true because mp3 didn't even exist at the time I received this recording. For those who wish to hold out hope for a 48 kHz DAT, no hard feelings, but it's really good. (Listen to the mp3 samples if you're unsure.) The performance itself is very entertaining, even though the show is a bit short (102 minutes). "Dreaming From The Waist" makes a relatively unusual appearance in the set. This would be enjoyable for even a casual Who fan; it is a must-have for any completist who doesn't have this show. |
