What's a good Test For Echo tour bootleg?

 

Edit: Never mind. Found Great Woods & Summer Skies. :)

 

Again, 100% agree.

 

The sound is phenomenal. :) I heard things in songs from the guitar and bass on that bootleg I never heard before.

 

It is such a crisp and clear recording.

 

Part of this was on Different Stages. At least a few songs, I forget which ones.

 

2112 if I recall correctly.

 

Yeah that was one. I know there was at least one other.

 

It was Leave That Thing Alone. I just looked it up.

I had never heard a complete live version of The Necromancer until just now

 

The quality isn't the best, but The Necromancer into By Tor is amazing .. I love this

The only Caress of Steel show known to exist. They opened for Kiss.

 

How about that? These guys actually opened for Kiss.
