was actually the 15.05.1985 in Gothenburg (wrong: "Goethebourg") not the 16.05.1985.
Also, the song was neither played on 16 May at Vikateatret, Oslo nor on 17 May at Kolingsborg Club, Stockholm.
These two were the only other Swedish dates during the 1985 Armageddon Tour.

Sources

  • Side A is subtitled The Original Mercy and was recorded on various occasions between 1983-1985
  • Side B - subtitled The Years After The Highlights - was recorded at various gigs between 1991-1993


Re-Release

  • According to the insert, this second edition (i.e. this reissue) was released in the same year
    as the first one (1994) and is also from Italy.
  • While the vinyls look the same, the accompanying insert differs remarkably.
  • It is not numbered and states: 1994 - DISTRIBUTED BY DISCOMAGIC srl. (with phone and fax no.)
  • Like on the original insert, the tracks are listed, but instead of the recording details
    the credits for the origin and the duration of each song are given.
  • The catalogue# is given as well - ON PD 2323
  • Also, a very different font was used - sans serif, mostly bold and in capital letters.
  • The credits for the songs given on this insert are partly wrong (Silver Machine)
or incomplete (Comfortably Numb), (Stop Draggin' My Heart Around).
Crediting Come Together to Chris Cornell is simply false.
Chris Cornell did only cover The Beatles' Come Together.
