Notes

This is a very good FM broadcast master tape, however, there are a few minor issues to note. Firstly, there is a missing segment of approximately 20 seconds at the beginning of Big Muff. Additionally, New Life has been edited at the beginning to remove a problem with the backing tape. Furthermore, there is some static interference towards the end of the second verse transitioning into the following chorus. Lastly, during The Meaning Of Love, there are slight signal dropouts in the left channel during the middle of the song.

Revision A notes: the same cassette is transferred on a higher-end deck, resulting in correct playback speed and higher quality sound.

Other sources from this concert include:

A more recent broadcast from April 2003 with a slightly different tracklist and unedited version of New Life is available at Source 1.

A rework creating the best sounding, most complete FM broadcast available at Source 3, but at this point it needs to be recreated using this source's superior audio.

These tracks (minus New Life) were pressed on a vinyl bootleg called A Question Of Knowledge, which was then repressed as a CD bootleg as the same name. This source, primarily provided for collectors, can be found at Source 4.
