"The source of this recording is not revealed on the CD sleeve, but it was an FM broadcast. The tracks have been re-mastered for this release but unfortunately, where the LP is stereo, the CD is not. Overall this is quite good quality, but not up to the standard of Polaroid. During European Son, David starts to sing the wrong lyrics but corrects himself halfway through. Burning Bridges and My New Career have been edited from the tape so that the concert fits onto one CD.
