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
