Comments
  • a) Last 40 minutes of show missing.
  • b) & c) Complete show.
  • d) Restoration of show compiling two above recordings.
  • Date of show confirmed due to TV mentioning that he had seen Judas Priest live in Berlin the previous night, which would have been at the Deutschlandhalle on 12 May.
  • Taper: "One (session) track was omitted, probably because Tommy's wife rang him up to have him play Comfortably Numb. Tommy calls the last track Your Kind of Love, even though he called it Your Kind of Loving in March. The lyrics seem to include both, so your guess is as good as mine."
  • Tommy has a bit of trouble playing the right songs tonight and twice queues up the wrong track.
