Comments:

Boston 1979... a great and an average bootleg at the same time.  Great because of the good performances and the very nice setlist, with the ultra-rare songs Bernadette (by David Knopfler) and In My Car (first time played here and apparently nowhere else to be found, but correct me if I'm wrong).  There is also a very early version of Twisting By The Pool. On the other hand average, because of the sound quality.  Although this appears to be taken from soundboard, it sounds more like an average audience recording, which is a pitty.  Conclusion: a very nice collector's item for 'true' fans in search for rare songs, but people looking for soundboard recordings might be disappointed.  Available on one 80 minutes CD-R.
