Wow !! ... what a storming performance, just let down by a phasey sound and a large balance offset to the right (far more than just to offset the phase error), so I corrected these and quite a few other minor tweaks 
Now it is truly outstanding, with George's voice and the solo instruments clearer and more foward in the mix, whilst the balance is now nicely spread across the whole stereo stage and the great dynamic music  really bursts from the speakers. Probably the best ever Thorogood performance / recording, IMHO...
