This show was on dime before but definitely from another source. My recording is missing 2 tracks in the middle section (I had some problems during recording).
I added the 2 tracks from this other source. I received them as wav-file from gazatthebop more than a year ago. Thanks again to him.

Rec. Info:
Aiwa Walkman with plug-in mic -> Mastercassette -> transfer via Onkyo tapedeck TA-2330 -> Magix Music Cleaning Lab (edit/remaster) -> FLAC -> DIME
This is the master tape of the show. The sound is very good (VG+). The 2 songs from other source fit in very well.

This recording recording is not as good as the one from the previous year in the Mannheim Feuerwache. The sound characteristic of the Capitol are quite bad
as due to the very high dome construction there is a lot of echo created.

This show was on dime before from another source and this is some info from the other upload (re-seed by OndraK, Nov. 2010):

In his John Cale biography Tim Mitchell writes about this show:

"In Mannheim in November the band opened the show with one of these [new] songs,
'Something's Gone Wrong', but it had little to recommend it and did not stay in
the set. Although the show had a certain amount of power, it failed to gel in
the old ways. Some of Cale's vocals sounded tired and his usual tirades forced.
He told a joke about a Russian bear and a rabbit that was lost on much of his
German audience and found himself unable to play 'Fear Is a Man's Best Friend'.
It was only on the newer material and towards the end of the performance that
things picked up at all."

I disagree here. This performance is twisted, as many others from this tour, and
although Cale is definitely in low state in parts (especially on Leaving It Up To You),
it has some very edgy moments (WFTM f.e.).

I can only confirm the last statement. Especially during Fear which is interrupted 2 times there is this feeling of tension supported by the interjection
of the audience. Unfortunately I cannot understand the "Russian Bear Joke" acoustically. It would be great if somebody could make it out and comment it.
A copy of the ticket stub is attached as well as a nice foto of the Capitol.
