I got this set without cue sheets. I downloaded 72 dpi copies from www.Discogs.com. They're not up to my usual 300 dpi standards but they're better than no cue sheets.
You DO get 300 dpi scans of all six disc labels (yeah, I know, who cares?).
The story...as I understand it... is that Westwood One used the same tracks from the four nights at Hollywood's Pantages Theater in December 1983 that became the "Stop Making Sense" LP, but with different mixes. There were two broadcasts based on this material: #CO 90-06, and #90-52.
The two shows are SLIGHTLY different. CO 90-06 has "Genius of Love", while 90-52 replaces that song with "Swamp."
While I don't have #90-52 in the original vinyl format, flac copies of that version are common on the Internet. This one seems to be less circulated.
Note errors on the original cue sheets for both shows:
On #CO 90-06, This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) is titled "Native Melody," while on #90-52 it is "Nature Melody."
The music is the same basic tracks as the released album, but with slightly different mixes...and at the time of release (1990) contained unreleased material. The best way to hear this is to BUY THE CURRENT RELEASE, which, I mean, come on, you should own by now as it's one of the greatest live albums of all time.
The Miller Lite commercials really miss an opportunity, too. They were touting the "Tour De Lite," a fictional bicycle race across America from Los Angeles to New York, featuring pop cultural icons Woody Harrelson, Run DMC, and the Jamaican Bobsled Team. The premise of the on-going series of ads was that the hapless Harrelson "took a short cut" and popped up all over the globe. At the end of the series of television ads, Mr. Harrelson climbs up out of a manhole in New York City just seconds ahead of the arriving peloton and wins the race. In the ads on this show, he's in "Dusseldorf, Germany". What's poorly executed is that all FIVE ads are the exact same advertisement. It would have only taken a few minutes to have had him pop up in London, Paris, New Delhi, and Tokyo. So the ads are far less compelling on a pop-cultural level than they might have been.
