Eurovine Acoustic Special

OK friends, we’ve had a taste of acoustic Dead from ’70 and ’80. Here’s a selection of acoustic sets, shows and fragments from down the years, plus a storming electric second set full of surprises from ’81.. All on one Data DVD, FLAC and SHN files which unpack to 6 or 7 CDs depending on how you arrange things. Should be something for everyone here (or everything for someone perhaps)
