Unfortunately, this is lossy.
I received this from a taper "Quicksilver" the year before last ago.
(His dual cassette deck was out of order...He had a MiniDisc deck barely, and he could sent to me a MiniDisc copy from his master cassete tape somehow.)
However this is enjoynable recording, and an unclear setlist of this concert became clear in "Live - A Beautiful Album" and "Great King Hangman" bootleg.

Again, I thank Mr.Quicksilver for this gem heartily.
None of this may have been possible it not for him.
And I hope all of you enjoy this and the complete recording of this concert is discovered sometime.

Good download and enjoy everyone ! :-) 

Masahiko

WOW!! this show is finally released integrally... :-)
This could be one of the best share of the new year and today is only the first day of the 2011...
thank you very much Masahiko!

Thanks a lot! This is really great! I'd maybe give this around a B or B- but definitely listenable.

A major gap filled in.  Thanks, Masahiko, for kicking off 2011 in grand style.

Thanks for this, Masahiko-san, and Happy New Year!
