This version is much longer than the other one... 148 minutes compared to the 134 minutes on the bootleg. There's a certain amount of hiss but very tolerable... there is also a lot of the announcer in there and all the tune-ups are there! Sound is VG/VG+. Great setlist, probably the last AD ever performed. - PL
