Missing Drum Duet. [Kevin-L-]

This Recording sounds a bit Better than B+ in my ears, way better than other A's here. Well, Rutherfords Solo on Fading Lights is still not perfect, but especially Driving the last Spike makes this to a Must have Bootleg from this Tour. [chinwildchicken]

Recording comments
Interesting note, taken from Paperlate archives: 'There's a boot CD called "Live at the Skydome" which claims to be the Toronto show but that's NOT TRUE! It's in fact the complete Houston, Astrodome show (on the "Astrodome" boot the drum duet is missing) but with stronger trebles and more hiss. But here's the nasty part: on the Skydome boot they neatly removed the moment where Phil mentions "Houston Astrodome" near the end of the show. So just compare these parts back to back and you'll see for yourself. There is however a real recording of the Toronto show circulating in tape form which has nothing to do with that "Skydome" fake.' [earlofgenesis]

Another way to tell that this is from houston: after the 'old' medley where Phil introduces Chester and Daryl, Phil says the word "Houston", but you have to really be listening for it. [assureaseggsiseggs]

This is a wonderful sounding source; but there is a bit of an enigma which deepens the mystery even further. It seems that all the cuts on this one match the alternate source with one exception. This one has the Drum Duet and the other does not. I have to question whether the drum duet here is authentic to the night in question based on the fact that both sources have cuts in the same places. I have no clue why somebody would choose to omit the Drum Duet if both sources are of the same night with the same cuts. Very bizarre. It certainly sounds like it is genuine on this one. The sound quality matches precisely and there is no apparent splice here. Interesting. Anyway, great gig. I was just expecting the intros and mama on this one to be complete since the alternate source has those cut in places. Now that I have confused everybody, let the mystery continue. :) [duke23]

Notes

Interesting incident

At the Houston Astrodome show, Phil messes up the lyrics to 4 songs in a row in the second half of the set. I Can't Dance, Tonight Tonight Tonight, Invisible Touch and Throwing it all Away all have vocal mistakes.
After the drum-machine-only moment halfway during Mama, Tony misses to come in with the chords in time. [Lemon]
