The review

Here is the 2nd show from New York in early November 90: a nother recording was already circulating with an average sound: muddy in the first tracks and better but saturated in the last ones. Maidenlane's version is better despite a tape flip in the middle of Can’t You Hear Me Knocking when the previous version had is tape flip in another part of the song.

Different combinations (merging, mixing) have been tested but with the exceptions of the middle tracks (not so muddy, not so saturated) all the others are inferior to the Maidenlane recording. So it was decided to complete the Maidenlane recording with a patch* coming from the previous source to have the complete show and to give it a little more interest, as a bonus, more original and matching parts were added. * Luckily this segment (from 6’30 until 6’50) is not saturated and of good quality!

Stop Breaking Down includes Stones In My Passway and Can't You Hear Me Knocking has a 20 seconds patch. The bonus tracks present some merged parts, with on the left channel the previous version and on the right channel the Maidenlane recording. This is a solid recording of a show where Taylor seems a bit tired, the setlist resents songs not performed in the previous set.
