Notes

Mastering: SiriusJoe
Artwork: Daletona Studios

This show from near the end of the Exit Stage Left tour features a preview of "Subdivisions", which would appear on the subsequent album "Signals". The drum and guitar parts are very slightly different from the recorded version, and the guitar solo hasn't been defined yet. Otherwise, the setlist is similar to the Moving Pictures tour.

This source has been produced on CD many times by many people over the years, with widely varying quality. This 2nd generation tape was fairly well-preserved but suffered from some of the same problems as all the others - a bit of distortion in the high frequencies which causes the cymbals to feel harsh and some sibilance on the vocals, and occasional changes in channel balance and volume. Still, it's the best sounding copy that I have been able to find after several years of searching, and I have spent lots of time correcting the volume/balance issues and repairing the tape flips and glitches. I think you'll like it better than any of the commonly traded versions of this show.

Thanks to Rick at Daletona Studios for the artwork. This is his first contribution to a Sirius release, and he did a great job.

Released to The Alien Shore message board on May 13, 2005.
