During Track 4 banter, Leslie mentions that they played here last night.

At the beginning of track 6 Leslie says "Corky got fired, because he was Canadian".

Oddly enough, there is another recording claiming to be the same date and venue and I've heard it.

but it's from a 3rd gen audience tape with a completely different set list and a different bass player.

The text for this can be viewed here, posted by roryglzep.

Any experts want to weigh in on this?

We also get a bonus track at the very end, of Leslie giving a short guitar lesson, which was included on the same cassette.

Story of this tape

I got this recording from the late Paul Samson.

Him and I were big Leslie West fans and we exchanged lot's of stuff... and i got this tape:-)

LW toured 1997 in England, and Paul got a copy off the mixing desk of the south shield gig..

so my copy it's a second gen off the master tape.

Mixing is great, sound clear, some trouble on my tape (originally damaged in Paul tape deck! :-(.. but this is a great recording.

Added, as a bonus, a small private guitar lesson tape made by Leslie west himself.

It's funny to hear him talking and explain his guitar technique.

dedicated to Paul Samson r.i.p.. and...Leslie west Himself, he just had a long hospitalization due Leg Amputated to Save his Life.....

This was in July, now Leslie is in nice form I assume this from the official WEB based funclub....

ok ciao!
