COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-173:
Short but well filmed (security booooooo!)but they were good concerts even if the band are a little subdued.
Remember even if you have some of the Daves films already that at best your copies will be 2 generations poorer than anything in the Masters series, so get em all.
These will be with original sound though many will feature as sound upgrades eventually with my two mates Yassou and Madhasse helping out.

LB NOTES FOR LB-0029:
