Here it is, the much anticipated Halloween show from New York Irving Plaza 1997, just in time for the 10 year anniversary. While I can't vouch for the generation with 100% certainty, it is very low. I have a good guess as to the exact lineage, but if I wrote it here it would be showing up on every trade list as if it was confirmed. However, if I told you this was straight off the master, you would have believed me.  ;)

The picture is exceptionally clean, and the audio is superb. The sound is much better than any of the silver boots of this show, direct off the soundboard. This was filmed for a TV news broadcast, and the guy filming it apparently  got to hang around for a long time. Unfortunately, this is not quite the complete show and some songs, including Forever, are cut. I can only assume that the master is the same way.

Special thanks to Greg B. for the source tape. Also thanks to everyone who's been sharing the good stuff lately, you know who you are.

Happy Halloween, everyone - enjoy!
