Thanks for the link! Will be ordering my copy for sure!

A couple of quick observations, though.

1- I was really hoping for both nights. This appears to be the entire show from March 5th, 1983 with "Let The Good Times Roll/Feels So Fine" from March 6th thrown on to complete the set. I'd be lying if I'm not a little disappointed in this as the version of "It's Only Rock and Roll" from March 6th is by far the best and most memorable version of that song that I've ever heard (In my opinion anyway). That is the version from the 12" B-side of "I Am, I'm Me" that made me the SMF that I am today. With that said, I'm still very excited to see this getting released as these shows were both amazing! I just wish both nights were being released as a package. With that being said, this version of "Run For Your Life" is possibly the best version ever recorded as it kicks ass in a big way! Based on the clips, I do think that the mastering sounds much better than the versions that are included on "Big Hits and Nasty Cuts" as well. They sound closer (although not the same) as the original B-side releases from the 12" and 7" singles.

2 - The reviewer in the description needs to get their facts straight as he states "The album also includes the first ever public performance of “You Can’t Stop Rock ’n’ Roll,” which would surface just three months later on the band’s second album." This is not even close to true as the boys had been playing that song for quite some time already by the time these shows happened. They were playing YCSRNR back in the clubs before "Under The Blade" was even recorded. Now this may be the first time "I Am, I'm Me" was played live as I've never heard a live recording prior to this of that song. I cannot confirm that, though.


OK. So my quick observations turned into a bit of a rant. LOL! Either way, I'll be picking this one up and can't wait to hear it again professionally mastered in all of it's glory!! Thanks for releasing this gem and keep 'em coming!
