Note: Sourced from German digital cable radio station NDR2 (not a webcast), this recording is superior to other available recordings of the rehearsals, which were recorded from FM or analog satellite broadcats. Crystal clear, no hiss and a an absence of background noise make this a pleasure to listen to. This is also a complete, unedited recording of the broadcast - beware, there are any number of poorly edited and incomplete versions of this show in circulation. Of special interest, "Gin House" was split down the middle in the original broadcast by announcer commentary (what idiot thought THAT was a good idea?), this recording also contains the complete, unedited version of the song that was broadcast on a different program as a teaser for the Rehearsals broadcast.
This is a flawless, "no excuses" recording of the broadcast and is recommended.
