live Holzstock Festival, Ebensee Austria 17 September 88

The ONLY live appearences of >Tha Last Bandits< (at least according to a guy named Nikki Sudden ;-) )

There are at least 2 recordings of this unique show

An aud. tape (unknown mic/ tape recorder / tape/ > 1st gen tape > PC > FLAC; with some tape problems)
and a mixing desk tape that comes from Nikki ( don´t know the linage)

The aud tape is just "medium quality". The mixing desk is good but missing some parts (first seconds of Tell me ,unknown last song....)

Some time ago I made a kind of Matrix out of these 2 recording. Nearly all is from the mixing desk, I just filled up the cuts with the aud rec.

And I´m not quiet sure about the last track (unknown track).
On the mixing desk tape you can hear some music that comes from the mixing desk after they have left the stage .
On the aud rec you can hear that they come back after a while and play another short song. The quality is worse because the taper already went to the bar to get a " Bratwürstl" (kind of sausage)
I mean I´ve been there but can´t remember if all 3 came out.
I think it was just Simon Carmody with an unknown (wasn´t it Jonathan Hodgson ??) guitar player.
I´m quite sure it wasn´t Nikki but I can remember that well.
Anyway it was such a great evening,,..... sadly I had too much beer, but I ended up in Nikkis caravan backstage and had a great time.
