So then, here's the great, GREAT concert from Sonny in Arnhem 1967. I tried doing some remastering but found the result not worthy enough, so what I seed here is just a fixed version (without duplications, one-channel-dropouts etc. - see notes for details), but with the same general sound as the previous re-seed, and in fact as the original seed I got it from.

This has been re-seeded by nocturnalnph a few days ago here, consider this an update for all the corrections, but as I said, not for sound:

In short:

* sound is fair enough! *
* Sonny is effin' hotter than hot! *
* Bennink is smokin'! *
* bass is audible, too! *
* THIS IS A MUST HAVE! *

Notes:
- CD1#2 came as "Four - Don't Stop the Carnival", but it's mainly "Four" with Sonny quoting various other tunes in a free-flowing improvisation
- CD1#3 was followed by an incomplete version of CD2#1, the intro was longer on CD1#3, I spliced that onto CD2#1 and deleted the rest
- CD2#3 came as just "Three Little Words" - I am not sure if there are two or just one other tunes following or what they are.
