I'll leave it to 4DF themselves to sum this release up:

"There are many versions of this recording circulating, but somehow all of them 
offer a somewhat underachieved final result. Because the actual potential of the 
source was truly enormous, we decided to give it our try.
We considered several sources, including a raw tape submitted by a fellow fan, 
and concluded that the best one to rework was Moonraker's 'Wonderboy' except for 
the final cut -'It's gonna be a beautiful night'- which was taken from the 
slightly disappointing 'Sign O'The Times Live' by Sabotage.
On the other hand, the source is incomplete. According to the usual and rarely 
modified SOTT Tour setlist, 'If I Was Your Girlfriend', 'Forever In My Life' and 
'Kiss' must have been played.
The actual performance of 'It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night' from that very night 
is missing as well. Traditionally, that void was filled with the superb 
rendition played in Utrecht later that month (on the 22nd) which is once more 
the one we used as it matched the sound quality of the main portion of the show.
We tried to bring the best out of the sources used and we can honestly consider 
this one as THE soundboard recording of one of the best and most beloved tours 
Prince has ever undertaken."


And I can't really argue with that. It's exactly as they say, it sounds 
wonderful and is just a brilliant show as well. A must have.
