Great quality! Thanks so much!

[avs002]

This is the only music from the (sensational) soundtrack CD that contains audience noise. So, perhaps it's the actually filmed performance.

The rest(?) of the soundtrack was lost for many years - it had to be re-dubbed. Hence the obscurity of the film...

[avs002]

AUTHOR'S NOTE: To "see what happens next", watch the VIDEO RESPONSE...

[maddash24seven]
