Recording comments:
Recorded ca 5 meters from the stage, more or less in center of the sound. There are two recordings. Although they do not differ enough in sound quality to get different ratings, they do differ: My recording is crystal clear, but lacks bass. Audience recording #2 has more bass, but isn't as clear as mine. What you end up with is a matter of taste. I prefer the clarity of my recording:-)

Performance comments:
Incredible jamfest! Just fantastic.

Bent's setlist also included Plan #1 after Go To California, but it was erased, and also not played. Heartbreaker was on the setlist after Nerve Tattoo, and Pills, Powders & Passionplays and Vortex Surfer were both apparently possible last encores, but none of them were played.

Highlights: This is the longest MP-version we have on recording of The Allman Brothers Band song In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed.

Go To California has a great guitarsolo.

K9 is the total pling-plong psychedelia version with Sun Ra's We Travel The Spaceways thrown in like the most natural thing in the world. Jawdropping. During the last crescendo Bent breaks a string and has to skip the last verse. (The whole 12 string guitar goes out of tune if one string breaks.) So he quickly changes guitar, signaling to Snah to do the same. Snah reaches for the acoustic one, and on the fly they slip smoothly into a lovely Upstairs/Downstairs. Amazing.

Walkin' With J. again has the Karius & Baktus-intro (it's a song they learned from the famous norwegian childbook and childsong writer Thorbj?rn Egner), and a great jam around the Miles Davis song So What.

Black To Comm is very powerful.

Bent plays the riff of Deep Purple's Burn during the hilarious intro to the vigorous Song For A Bro', which closes the circle with the longest version to that date..
