Recording comments
I don't know how sure it is that this is Pre-FM but it certainly sounds like it at least. Excellent sound, better than 'Smalltalking in Paris'. Neat performance as well, definitely better than the Copenhagen show from earlier in the year. [LivingForever]

I'm quite sure this recording is the one I recorded when it was broadcast here in France. I directly recorded it with my MD recorder deck. Then put on CD-R via optical connection. The first two tracks were combined (introduction & No Son of Mine). I must say that my FM reception was kind of perfect! I also recorded the Europe 2 radio show which was broadcast the same day.

This is certainly no pre-FM recording. Frequency analysis proves it's from an MD recording, and listening to the recording the drums have a sound to it that can only found in FM recordings, not in pre-FM recordings. Pre-FM or not, this is an excellent recording. The best you can get from an FM broadcast. [mdekoning]

My Friend said that the "Small Talk" Solo at 4:00 has been played by Anthony. Is it true? [chinwildchicken]

Recording comments
Another version is available - taken from the Pre-FM DAT and titled 'Practice Makes Perfect'. A+ sound. This show has some great performances, not least of all the only performance of 'Small Talk' with a great guitar solo from Anto Drennan. [LivingForever]
