Notes

Power Station rehearsals, NYC May 1989

Say's Bob's Boots:

Review:
The Power Station is a recording pulled from the mixing console for the band to analyze their performance. The event is a rehearsal for the upcoming June, 1989 European tour. Curiously, most of the cover songs tried out here were not performed on this Euro leg of the world tour.
The quality is great, but not as clean as a soundboard should be. Most likely made from a high generation cassette copy. The package is nice with great looking photos and aesthetics.

DEEP: A curious beast in that it's not a typical NET rehearsal session. The backing band has a strong country flavor to it, there's a violin and a harmonica player in there and the drumming does not sound at all like Chris Parker's rock drumming but has a jauntier, country feel to it. Three of the vocals are taken by Mindy Jostyn (not Emmylou Harris as credited). Recording quality is excellent though not up to studio soundboard standards. All in all a very enjoyable disk with some fascinating moments.

CDG: Some very interesting songs, including lots of covers, in nice quality.
