The review

The fifth volume of this series bring us to New York, this is the first show of which there were 2 versions from the same source. The one selected had a better sound and a more complete spectrum but ran way too fast: it had to be decelerated by -11%!

As usual the recording has been rebalanced, the sound slightly refocused and de-clicked and the transitions reworked. In particular after the intro some microphone noises were deleted and after Jelly Jelly a short gap at 8’20 too. This is a great recording of an excellent performance with Taylor shining on many songs.
