Date: Friday, 18th April 1997
Never-Ending Tour Concert #867

A fourth version of this DVD was made possible when a 1st generation tape dubbed from the master Sony H18 digital tape became available. The excellent sound upgrade source is the same as for D203.su and D203.suu. Both video and sound quality have been improved by virtue of this project being divided into two disks.

version "a"; No set-up....NET TAPER A again???; bittorrent download 11/05; different recording than jt; in comparison jt has warmer fuller sound but was incomplete ; (did not listen to all of this); (a bittorrent from 07/07 had matching flac fingerprints described as "i have only the two flac file folders; no info file; sound pritty good;perhaps a NET TAPER A recording to????" ); big digipops on d1t2 0:24, 1:30, 4:34 , d2t3 0:30, 0:42; 3:55, 4:20 (did not review all tracks for flaws); drops between tracks, d1t5 0:19, d1t3 4:46
