While this is usually listed as being FM and was in fact broadcasted on radio
(you can hear the speaker at the beginning announcing this second part of the show)
actually is a mono audience recording, and not the greatest quality.
At the time wasn't unusual for Europeans radio to broadcast (unauthorized)
audience recordings, often the day after or the same night of the show.
Same happened with the Milan show the previous week.

The show is incomplete, only the last part is here. The speaker announces also
"Born in the 50's" as last song but it's not on the tape.
I'm not spanish, but from what the speaker say I think this is the second part
and I guess also the previous songs were broadcasted, only not captured from
the radio by whoever recorded this.

Seen the subpar quality, I took the freedom to do speed/pitch correction,
it was amost an half step higher and too fast. Sounds a bit better.

No eq, no noise reduction.
