Notes

Credit to Dennis Burmeister & a Dutch music journalist who attended the concert.

A great sounding FM broadcast recording of about half of the concert. There was fairly prominent ground/mains hum which was surgically removed with iZotope RX 10 De-hum, which also has the additional benefit of restoring some dynamic range as the original file set had some plateaus instead of natural peaks for the waveform.

The original file set is archived at Source 5 for completeness.

Many thanks to fredheadset (RIP) for taping this recording, and sharing it way back in 2008.

A scan of a handwritten set list sheet written by a Dutch music journalist who attended the concert is also included. Credit to Dennis Burmeister for the scan.
