Notes

A very good audience recording. The recording starts out in excellent quality, but starting with Something To Do, it declines a little bit.

The first few seconds of Pimpf are missing. Unfortunately, most of the second half of the concert was not recorded, likely due to a failed tape change or issue with the recording equipment. The following songs are missing from this recording: "Shake The Disease", "Nothing", "Pleasure, Little Treasure", "People Are People", "A Question Of Time", and "Never Let Me Down Again".

This recording was previously only available as 128kbps MP3, playing at too fast of a speed and with heavy equalization applied. This is a flat transfer without equalization and with known lineage.

Many thanks to Falko for generously lending me this tape to archive, CPR for bringing the tape to me, and to Elly Apfel for recording this concert.
