1988-02-12 Johanneshov Isstadion, Stockholm, Sweden/Source 2

Notes

A good audience recording of the soundcheck before the concert, though it ends abruptly after Pipeline. Despite some noticeable hiss, it remains quite listenable. Surprisingly, it's the best-sounding copy I've come across. I made only minimal adjustments, matching the pitch control on the deck to the official '101' recording's speed and normalizing it to -0.1dB.

Interestingly, this recording was discovered on the B-side of a tape that also contains the FM radio broadcast of the 1981-09-29 Paris show, for which there are multiple excellent sources, including a stellar pre-FM broadcast master recording available here.
