Notes

Murgronan, Sweden

In 1984 began the resurrection of JT's career. He hooked up with manager Christopher Giereke and began to battle his addictions. This show is a great example of what a relatively sober JT could play like - something nobody had seen for years. Playing with Sylvain, Johnny knew he wasn't gonna be able to stumble through his performances and still call himself the "lead" guitarist.

Pretty sure (not positive) that Billy Rath is on bass.

Jerry Nolan (on drums here) is one of the greatest, but Syl and JT's guitar creativity was what always pushed the band.

You are gonna love this show. Johnny is in a fantastic mood and his team-ups with Syl are always worth listening to.

The sound quality here a B/B+.
