I already posted an upgraded version from this show in September 2016 - here are my (slightly reworked) comments from back then:

This show was posted on IORR by «Riccardo’99» the tapes were coming from «Crazy Mama» and the original tapers were given credit on the artwork with "to Brigitte and Günter : I thank you all a lot for your generosity".
Listening to the tape I was thinking that it can be improved and so I tried. :
First I equalized it (adding little more medium frequencies) and then I amplified it (+ 4db), I rebalanced both channels and at last I amplified the final result.
I also upgraded the beginning/end of the cd's, cut the default coming from the recording in track 08 («Can’t Stop») (from 5’20 till 5’30), cut the gap at the end of the tracks on CD n°2: the transitions are better but a little rough, also at the end of «Band introduction/Help Me», two gaps on «Choo Choo Mama», and the end of «Sweet Little Sixteen» remain drought.
I created a new artwork to include this show in the series.
