I will be the first to admit that this recording is not intended for people seeking perfection. This recording is for the die-hard fans and completist. Audiophiles be aware!
This was the first time I ever tried to record a concert, but oh what a show I picked. At the time, The Pyramid was newly built and suffered from acoustical issues (lots of echo bouncing back from the walls). They tried to fix the problem by hanging huge acoustical blankets from the ceiling. It was a nice try, but there was still a lot of echo in the building. Judge for yourself.
Despite a leg injury, Axl came out and put on a hell of a show. He hobbled around ranting and raving all night long (thus the title Jive Talkin'). He goes off on the press, parents, and authority figures in general. He also ejects a couple of people from the front rows because the were just sitting down watching the show.
For me, some of the highlight of the show were the performance of Dust-n-Bones, hearing Duff sing Attitude, watching Axl playing a full size grand piano during November Rain, and seeing Slash rock out during two individual guitar solos.
Saddly, this is not the complete concert. During Slash's second guitar solo the batteries in the recorder died.

Technical comments: Audience noises between Track 7 and 8 were crossfaded together for continuity, fixing tape flip. Small fade-out added to end of Track 15 because the tape ran out about 1-2 seconds before song ended. Fade-in added to Track 16 because new tape was put into recorder. Track 22 was not edited. The unusual sounds at the end is due to the batteries in the recorder dying.
