Comments:

You might say that this is the best bootleg one can find from 1979.  It not only has the legendary Rockpalast gig of the 16th, taken from the TV broadcast, but also the gig from the next day, in the Grosse Sendersaal, which was broadcasted on radio.  Thus, both performances come in excellent stereo soundboard quality.  Note that at the Rockpalast gig, Sultans of Swing was played twice, because Mark wasn't happy with the way they played it the first time, although I've never understood what was exactly wrong with it.  Since Sultans Of Swing was also broadcasted the day after, you get three versions of this classic song on one bootleg :-).  They also played Southbound Again on the 17th, which is very nice, as there aren't many recordings of that song.
