Review by tsatsawassa

tsatsawassa I recorded this show. I have both sets. I wonder if the original recordings people refer to are mine because there was some cuts in the recordings due to my using a two track that required an outlet for power. I was sitting dead center in the balcony with a small table. My extension cord was plugged into the wall behind me, but their was an aisle between me and the outlet. At one point (or two) some girl was leaning against the wall with the outlet and she put her foot on the plug, so the recording cut out. Uggghhh, I was bummed, but what do you do?

As for the show, the most amazing part I remember to this day is when Trey came out of his solo in Highway to Hell he used the mic stand as a slide, pushing the neck against the mic stand the whole length of the fretboard just as he started back into the chorus. I can still see this in my mind almost 35 years later.

Anyway, I don't really follow the band that much anymore, but my friends from those days still do. Not sure what I would do with my Master recordings from the show considering I seem to be the only person in the world with a recording of the first set.

I seem to remember there was someone else recording down on the main floor, but considering I know my recording cut out a few times for reasons explained, the linked show may be my recording. Some day I might get around to digitizing the first set, or giving my masters to someone who might be able to improve the quality if the linked recording is the one I did.

Anyway, I'm old now, 53, so I'm busy with lots of other stuff. Still, it seems like people would probably like to hear the first set since it's not available.
