Do not know if this album was released before but got a notification from Spotify that the live album “ A poet in Amsterdam” is available on Spotify.
Had a first listens to it and think it is a great live recording

A very welcome Christmas gift. I'm listening now and it sounds great.
I was with my father in 1988 in the Muziektheater in Amsterdam, great concert.

Re: A poet in Amsterdam
It is great quality, I love the 1980 tour. I also found it on Amazon UK as a downloadable music file you can purchase - just in case it ever disappears from Spotify.
What with that and the copyright recordings that appeared last week this has been a good week.

Re: A poet in Amsterdam
I presume it is just one of many new unauthorised bootlegs - both Amsterdam 1980 and 1988 were recorded from soundboard or FM (I forget which one which) and were shared among fans here on this Forum on CDRs and later as digital files. All those new unauthorised live recordings are actually taken off those recordings collected and shared in collectors' circles (and probably sourced from Dimeadozen website).
Amsterdam 88 recording is actually my favourite 1988 recording. It is highly recommendable. Spotify notified me as well last night via email about this "release".

Yes, beautiful recordings. I got them as a birthday present in Helsinki(2010) from our friend from Amsterdam who had been to the concerts herself.
