-98 mainland tour recordings

Most of them aren't that good, so i was just wondering if anyone knows whether or not better recordings exist and maybe they are just rare?

I'm not sure. Tobias Dorf did some and there was a big backlash about them at the time. Those are the ones in circulation I think. Maybe PiB might have more idea if anything else is doing the rounds....

Nods, though even PIB's site doesn't list any alternative sources for them :/

But what kind of a "backlash"?

Dorf decided to sell his recordings on Dominion and elsewhere, allegedly to cover his travelling costs. Needless to say the folks in the Sisters camp weren't too happy with that. Certainly as they apparently had been quite accomodation to him by giving him excess to soundchecks, etc. Btw. I'm pretty sure the AB one isn't his - that is the audio from the video that was shot. I was surprised that the German leg wasn't recorded by anybody else - who knows it is and has yet to surface. No idea.

Ahh Thanks for that.

There's another source for Brussels though, apart from the video st. It's somewhat better, and certainly different in terms of 'dynamics' than recordings of most gigs from that tour, so perhaps that's not his recording, either.
