NOTE: Fan-circulated clone of the original Silver Rarities releases, with cover slips intended for double CD cases. At least three different sets of cover slips are available. The original releases are reliably reported as improperly mastered, markedly slowed down from the original recording; no doubt some fan variants have been speed-corrected.

rmd: An extraordinary performance. The music of rebirth. The passion and joy here makes Saved sound all the more empty and limp. This show might win you over if you don't yet appreciate Bob's gospel. The sound quality of this audience recording, sadly, is merely very good.
