Nijmegen - Fanbase-produced CD cover (front)


A good quality bootleg that's been circulating among the fanbase for decades,

noteworthy for it's encores: a 9-minute long Sister Ray followed by Fix and then

a 17-minute long (!) medley of Ghostrider/Louie Louie.

Release Notes

  • Origin: possibly a mixing desk recording. However, this was not intended for sale
and is therefore categorised as an audience recording.
  • Thanks to Heartland Forum member James Blast for the cover artwork
(Please click into the pictures for larger views ...)
  • Format: 2CD-r of datafiles in FLAC or MP3
  • Released: unknown


Remarks

  • Some rather odd "big band" style music is played as an outro.
    It can also be heard as the intro on more complete versions of the gig.
    This intro/outro was used regularly during the 1984 Spring Tour.
