• A small b/w photo, taken at the concert, is added to the cassette.

• There is no indication, whatsoever, that this half-way official looking cassette bootleg was bought and sold
  at a regular record shop of the time. However, such tapes were commonly found on informal record markets.
  

• Anyway, this recording was spread by unofficial traders among the international fanbase, (see the pictures below).
  

• At least two audience recordings from this concert are known to exist as well, both of which also of very high sound quality.
