Comments: In late 1995, randomly selected members of the Black Crowes now-defunct fan club received a cassette in the mail. The band recorded several shows on their European tour and mailed 100-minute versions to various members on their list. I don't think there was any rhyme or reason to the distribution -- some members got 2 or 3 of the shows in separate packages, others received none. All were incomplete, most with a song broken over the A/B flip, and in general the sound was quite good.

This is the third of the four, and I think one of the best-sounding of the bunch. This is 1st gen. off someone else's "Taller" copy, which I think would make it 3rd gen. from the master used to record the show (I assume the master was a cassette rather than DAT, but I don't know for sure). I'd feel safe giving this an "A" in quality; well worth having if you're a fan.
