source: AUD/DAT recording; very good sound. Complete gig Liberated bootleg: The Battle: Wyvern WDP129D1/2 Japan 1994 2CD
The first bootleg with Satriani on guitar, who fits in the band really well. Satriani plays Blackmore's solos for the most part, but with some variations. He also plays all of the notes during songs, something that Ritchie rarely did. The sound recording is about the same as In Your Trousers, but the music is much better, especially Child In Time and Anya.
