"This starts off just like the second half of the show I saw in Alpine Valley, Wisconsin. Lawn lights out, drums started pounding, and 30+ thousand people started bouncing up and down like pogo sticks.



At the time, the sound was state-of-the-art, though this album does not sound as clean as shows recorded after they switched to in-ear monitoring.



I really like the perfomances here, unlike the reviewer who felt they added nothing to the studio albums. Maybe the remembrance has something to do with it...but additionally this album covers a range from fast and uptempo to slow and doodling, showing different facets of the band."

I've always loved this "album"

"Who wouldn't love this great quality soundboard recording? The set-list has long been one my favorites. It was nice to be able to get it used and not at the expensive import price elsewhere."

Really could use the Sweet "Space"1 ot the prettiest!! :}

"Hello,me again I first had this on Tape{Cassette}it got eatten up in my friends car player :{{Saddness},got happy when it came out on C/D looked closer got{Bummed out}because it had one of the prettiest {"spaces"}since Europe 1972 missing, hear: Epilog-Prelude,which pretty much is the jam around "the other one" as I remember :},I now have the import and it has the "Space",so as a warning try for the c/d with "Space" included but if you a remote area like Hooterville,buy its still really good "Brokendown Palace" makes me miss the old days sadness:{ listen to the verse:Momma,momma many worlds I've come since I first left home "
