Jeff Moores (aka “Mo-Mule”) uploaded the sbd and aud recordings of this show, so I took it upon myself to create a matrix version. I think it sounds pretty fine. I time-aligned the sources (stretched the soundboard source slightly so everything syncs up). I also slightly retracked things.
I really don’t think Anders ever sounded better than he did at the 1997 shows — what a KILLER band.
