This is the recording of the second show in San Francisco, as longest as the first one and with the same setlist but for Joe Cocker’s set where the last 2 songs were inverted in position; f or this show there were 3 sources:

Source #1 can be found on San Francisco December 1983 (Heart Breakers HB-809-1/2); initially it was taped by Brother Tom: it’s a good lossless recording.

Source #2 was taped by JEMS, this too is a good lossless audience but not as good as the one by Brother Tom.

Source #3 is the video soundtrack, the sound is good, with more stereo effects but it was lossy.

Two versions were posted:

6a: source #1 and 6b: merges of sources #1 and #3: a pro-shot video of the whole show exists; here reviewed is the merges version with:

- on the left channel: the source #3 used as reference (it’s a new video rip)

- on the right channel: the reworked version of volume 06a .

In detail, on Disc One: the Band introduction was merged except for the first 35 seconds coming solely from 06a; Seven Days was merged except for the last 24 seconds which are solely coming from the other source and were not in the video. Feelin’ Alright has been merged except for the last 19 seconds which are solely coming from the video.

On Disc Two Star Cycle was merged except for the first 1’13 min. which is solely coming from the video; Blue Wind was merged except for the last 9 seconds coming solely from the video, while Going Down was merged except for the last 39 seconds which are solely coming from the video

Prelude was merged except for the first 1’31 are which are solely coming from the video, Who’s To Blame and City Sirens had Paul Rodgers on vocals, as well as Boogie Mama where there was also Stu on piano. After Stairway To Heaven the encores are preceded by a long intermission: it was cut at different times in the two sources. In the merged parts it was kept but they were interrupted by two fade ins/outs, one at 9’42 and the other at 9’58.

On Disc Three, Layla was merged except for the last 2 minutes of banter which are solely coming from the video, while Goodnight Irene was merged except for the last minute which is solely coming from the video.

Note that Bill Wyman & Charlie Watts play only on Disc One and Three.
