1) My version runs 130 min, tf version is 110 min

2) Our versions are literally identical until after THe Hymnn is performed, tf version contains Big Ben party, Wooly Willy tango, The warning, White rock - about 16 total minutes.

3) After the Hymn on this version, a stunning 29 minute version of Anne Boleyn is performed, Robot Man and the Journey conclusion (The Battle, Hall of Mountain King Jam). A total of 41 minutes not on the tf version

4) I can't recall ever seeing a show broadcast over the FM, that was identical for 3/4 of the show then different for remainder of broadcast.

5) The transitions from The Hymn to the next track are seamless in both versions. When introducing Journey part one on both versions, Rick does mention that a part two of Journey will be performed later in the show so my version does make sense and is not a splice from a different show.

6) It appears that the two versions run at slightly different speeds. It would be cool if someone would do a little more research into this show, combine the two versions to make one definitive version with all tracks.

7) The sound quality is virtually identical on both versions - outstanding !!
