Notes:

  • This is the third concert of the Power Windows tour.
  • This is the third of six total shows at the very beginning of the Power Windows tour that Witch Hunt was played towards the end of the show, right before YYZ.
  • Starting with their concert on December 13, Witch Hunt was performed much earlier in the show, right after Middletown Dreams.
  • This is the first show of the tour to not have The Weapon in the setlist, which was performed during the preceding two concerts.
  • A small portion of the extended jam during Closer To The Heart is missing due to the tape flip.
  • The tape runs out near the end of Red Lenses, so is missing Tom Sawyer, 2112's Overture, Temples Of Syrinx, Grand Designs, and In The Mood.
  • This recording was known to circulate on trade tape copies in the 90s, but has never turned up online over the decades that followed. Now in 2026, it is being uploaded for the first time.

Not sure what this source is. A full 1st gen version was released in Feb 2003 with really fantastic sound.

Do you still have a copy? Shame it remined obscured all these years and didn't spread around much. The only traces I'd seen of a recording for this date existing was on Tony Licari's 1997 list as "90 min VG+" and since then had only found two collectors who have old trade tape copies. It never ended up on the old DRE database or the old TRF bootleg drive.
