This show cooks in every way. If your checking it out for 1st time you will not be disappointed at all.
They came to play on this tour and pulled out Crazy fingers from there bag of tricks. Yes the Loser kicks ass , so does the rest of the show. After these shows we were lucky to get a copy sum time later during the summer tour and we for sure played the heck out of it.
Gets 100 stars for the scene sound and feel as if your still there.
GREAT job on the recording guys.

Hmmm, weird review RE "horrendous Loser." Late night and I pulled this up just to hear the Loser!!
Agree w other poster, its smashing, raucous and Phil goes off at the peak of a killer solo. Seemed like they were really getting after it and having fun!

To each his/her own...peace

Don't forget Fingers breakout either! 35 years ago

I must be missing something here. I have heard this version of Loser probably 100 times and I can't for the life of me figure out what is "horrendous" about it. I actually really like it and Loser is one of my favorite tunes. I think the solo is great and Phil punctuates it with a serious bass run. And I am not one of those heads who thinks everything they did was great. I saw plenty of shows and some were clunkers, but I like the Loser and Crazy Fingers from this show very much. I just don't get it. To each his own I guess.

Indeed, a totally horrendous version of "Loser".
No knew then that it was time to slip back into nature to let a few seasons past ... well beyond 1986 ...
Peace

Really some of the best audience recordings you'll ever find. These guys had it wired. At the time, there were rumors that some people had connections that passed their equipment through backstage so that they didn't have to try to smuggle it through security. We were not so lucky. Everything but the deck was pretty easy to get in. In today's security world, none of this would be even remotely possible.
