J-Card Comment This is most likely the complete show, but it certainly is the longest version of this show
I have ever seen anywhere. To my knowledge it has never been seeded before.
It comes from the same tape that the "Live in Offenbach vol. 2" vinyl bootleg was made
from. For reasons i don't know "vol. 1" (to my knowledge) was never released, so this
may well be the first time this full recording is going out there to everybody in digital form!
I bought the tape a few months after the actual concert on a record fair, it was labeled
as being a "Blue Bird Tapes" release.
I had been at the concert myself and it was an excellent show indeed, and the 2 songs
from the at the time not yet released "Beat" album were a definite highlight of the show.

Unfortunately the tape has a 16 second total dropout during "Indiscipline" which I removed
and tried to gently smooth out. Maybe an extra second of music was lost in the process.
Trades Allowed Yes
