This could be interesting. be warned, unless something has changed, PP is (or once was) owned by Cleo; so this may or may not be licensed, & it may or may not be 1st gen soundboard.

Releases on Cleopatra and their subsidiary labels are all licensed, Geff. The sound quality, we shall see.

Are you certain? I have some doubts about the plethora of live Quicksilver messenger Service they've for the last few years for one.

I do believe the numerous Billy Sherwood tributes are 100% legit.

Well, I take the label at their word.

FYI: Authorized or not, this is mediocre bootleg quality. Consider yourself warned.

Two five-star reviews at Amazon so far:

I just read the reviews. What my ears heard, & what they wrote are 2 different things. I only played a few songs, but it sounded like a worn out, over saturated, close to the stage audience recording.

Listening to cd #3; definitely a radio broadcast (DJ, & the word "piss" is bleeped out); & the tape has some wear. Consider yourself warned!
