Many thanks to Dime user Fuwafuwatime for sending me these FLAC files and the complete artwork of this bootleg! Find his info notes below. There it says "New Master". I don't know where he got that information (I don't find it in the artwork), but I checked the spectral image and sound and compared it to the well-known "Angel and Demon" bootleg, and based on this comparison I am sure that both bootlegs are from the same soundboard source. However, the sound is a bit different (check the samples - in my comments below I will post one from each of the two bootlegs), so it's quite possible that this is from the master and "Angel and Demon" wasn't, but this is just speculation. It appears to me that this sounds a bit less rough and has a bit more high-end than "Angel and Demon". PLEASE POST YOUR OPINIONS!
Both bootlegs are obviously really lossless, by the way. I added ReplayGain tags, nothing else was changed.
