One of the shows from a short European tour opening for Bonnie Raitt, probably sourced from an FM broadcast. The sound quality is exceptional. As regards the setlist, it's heavy on the new Mirror Blue material, with the only version of Mascara Tears I've heard so far. The main quibble with this one would be the omission of the final song from the broadcast, Dimming Of The Day with Bonnie Raitt herself lending vocal support.

Support slots seem to be the theme here, with the London and Stockholm filler taken from openers for Crowded House. The latter is something of a guess - the only information given is that it is from an FM broadcast in October 1991, and this seems the most likely candidate. All of the filler is FM-sourced, although the quality is slightly lower than the main set.
