Additional comments

Very good sounding recording with the complete set of that evening. On some songs, the left channel is not that strong, but apart from that really good sound quality for a recording from 1985! Some songs miss the last few notes, but that's not too bad. The taper had to switch tapes during Sultans of swing, so there is a small part missing in the final solo. Dire Straits also played the typical Dutch song Tulpen uit Amsterdam that evening on which the audience sings along, very nice!
 
Used recording equipment Below two pictures of the recording equipment used to record this show. The taper used a selfmade microfone which was hidden in a hair ribbon, so the security could not see it. That's bootlegging!
