This bootleg, kindly sent to us Thomas Exner , was a six disc set purportedly taken from the festival.However, we have some doubts. Although some of it might be from the gig, it can't be all kosher as half the bands on it weren't performing at the festival ! Sabbath cancelled and Iron Maiden, Saxon and the Scorpions were never on the bill to our knowledge.
