I saw the reseed of this show on dime and remembered I had tried to edit the same show already almost a year ago. I went
back to it and kept editing 'til it sounded good enough. So..

Source was very good, removed a couple of cuts, made intros more audible, bass is higher in mix now with all the instruments and vocals also clearer.
None of the bonus tracks have been released on any official release (that's part of the reason I chose them).

Great show full of great performances (hey, it's The River tour..).

"Only performance of On Top Of Old Smokey, and I'm A Rocker is rare.
Unusual start of show with Prove It All Night, and Badlands has a new keyboard introduction for the first time." -brucebase

Thanks to Pat Lee and Stan Gutoski for taping the show 26 years ago and (W. Gaddy?) for sharing the master recording!

Original title was 'What Are The Chances - The Mountain Show'.

Taper Notes:

This show was recorded on a Sony D5M with two Sony ECM 270 mics.
The superb sound was due to the location about 50 feet from stage left.
We were up above the height of the stage but close to the overhead PA speakers.
The first set the mics were taped to the balcony railing but a photographer was busted to our right
so we moved them to an empty seat in the front row and aimed them up at the speaker bank.
Jon Landau pointed out the photographer to security.
As I recall, you can "hear" the security go down in our aisle with a slight shift in sound.
The tape came out pretty well with only 1 tape flip during "Point Blank" (Edited as unnoticeable as possible -ev2).
