Notes

A very good FM broadcast recording sourced from an unauthorized broadcast.

Only the first three tracks were supposed to be aired, as is common with press broadcasts. However, that is not what ensued. I am told that the mixing desk did not switch off the broadcast feed after the first three tracks, and the announcer just went with it.

He was at the venue and even announced that he was hidden behind the desk with the light turned off. He stated several times that the broadcast was unauthorized and that they were broadcasting without the knowledge of the sound crew. At the beginning of 'Behind The Wheel', he was discovered and had to end the broadcast, but he sure got a lot more than he expected!

There are occasional instances of FM interference, small dropouts that sometimes cause noticeable glitches between tracks, and slight quality degradations from signal loss.

However, it's a pretty consistent and good-sounding broadcast. About a second or so during the intro of In Your Room is affected by static noise, and a second or two of Never Let Me Down Again is missing due to a dropout. Otherwise, this is a complete recording of the broadcast.

Unfortunately, the announcer talks frequently at the beginnings of songs, usually mentioning the song title. There are also occasional radio station watermarks.
