In the third volume of this series we got three parts: on pa rt 1 there are soundcheck highlights: o f course, a soundcheck is not made to be listened to and this one also contains a lot of parasitic noises. T he passages that seemed the most interesting have been selected and 'by hand' many annoying sounds and noises were deleted. This selection is about half as long as the complete recording that can be found as a bonus at the end (part 3). So here we have various instrumentals and finger exercises. On part 2 there is the full show of which there were 2 versions of the same source. The one chosen was the one that was not saturated and contained the piano intermezzo; as usual the channels have been rebalanced and the sound slightly refocused. In detail: o n the Unidentified Piano Intermission there were some microphone noises in the middle and at the end, while the Unidentified Ragtime is cut abruptly (fades out); also Got My Mojo Working is faded in but no music has been lost.

On p art 3 there is The soundcheck, the complete recording with the 2 soundcheck sequences in their entirety: their channels have been equalized and phased.

The sound output is excellent matched by the superb guitar playing and this make this disc very enjoyable.
