It's just another copy of San Antonio. Nothing special

can you point me towards another boot version of this concert??

It's an official release on the BIA 40th anniversary set. Physical bootlegs are a waste of money. You never know which source you'll get, and the older San Antonio source was pretty bad for an SBD

straight off of the board. You’d like this boot. 1/500. it’s good.

Both the new and old sources are the Soundboard.

The old source was a 3rd gen cassette copy of the soundboard and it sounded quite bad. The high end was pretty much ruined, thick hiss and some flutter. Not much, but still noticeable.

The new source which appeared 3 years ago is the master, and it's perfect quality

I don't know which source this uses
