Date: Friday, 29th October 1999


NB: Two new sources were available for this concert, the better one of which is the primary source for this DVD. For some odd reason, however, this source had no audio, so the editor had to do a fair amount of lip and drum-beat reading to get the upgrade audio in sync with the video.

-nice slowed down version of "When I Paint My Masterpiece"

I did not harm the sound of the recording in any way
This is the same recording as LB-4029 but is a fairly new transfer from my DAT clone
and it is complete ! LB-4029 had a fake d1t08, interestingly on my DAT there also was a cut after d1t07, but this 'Memphis Blues' is the real thing.
This is a diffent master than LB-2495 and LB-1464 (which was used for the Schubert remaster)
