Notes:
I'll start with the flaw:
*** This track (You're The Inspiration) is listed on setlist.fm & was included in a FLAC conversion supposedly sourced from this Proshot video that I got from trade with the guy who shared it on G101 (dalmar6677)... BUT IS SHAMEFULLY NOT IN THIS VERSION.***
Dale... hope you're doing well! All the best wishes for you.

Proshot video with soundboard audio from the 1990 tour. The author of this DVD version, conversion method, and equipment used is unknown to me, but it is authored with chapters and menu. Actually upon further review... Gspot tells me that: "[USER] 6encoded by TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 Version. 4.0.6.28" ... so, that's the authoring equipment.

SonOfEdge recently uploaded: Chicago - 1972-06-08 - Tokyo, Japan DVD on TTD (The Trader's Den) which gave me the idea to dig in and find a Chicago show to share. So, in an off way, you can thank him for this share. They are stricter on their policies for Lineage info @ TTD, however, so JamToThis will be where I upload this.

To my knowledge, at least, this hasn't been shared publicly before... only traded privately, and it's never been released in any way shape or form in part or in full commercially.

Throwback type video, absolutely! This takes me back to high school years! but... Great music is timeless!

NOTES:
Not quite the full concert, it has only surfaced in this edited version. Audio and video have some inperfections but still very enjoyable footage. Tape is a little rough at the very beginning and end. I got this in a trade a few years ago, it is a bit better quality than the two previous versions I had, plus this version includes I'm A Man which the others did not. Hopefully a lower generation copy willeventually surface. This was the last tour with the late great Terry Kath.
