Full details can be found at link, where I have also listed a number of points for each track which help to identify it. While I believe the above to be correct it's always interesting to hear other people's thoughts on this kind of thing.
I've also read in various places that the 5 CD version ('Opera Omnia SE') contains tracks from different concerts. If anyone has a link to the 5 CD version or would be willing to share it, please let me know - I'd happily share the 4 CD version in exchange. I would love to what the differences are, if any (apart from the two bonus tracks of course), and repeat the same process to exhaustively identify each of the tracks origins.
That's a hell of a lot of listening you did to compile that! Even if it turns out not to be 100% accurate (I don't know, as I sold my copy without making a duplicate), I'd still say thanks for the massive effort :)
Good work. Its a great set, but annoying the way it is compiled. The 5 disc version is much nicer. I have a feeling they could do a much improved reissue these days - the intervening 20 years have seen some great stuff emerge.
Yup - I remember buying the 4-CD Opera Omnia set the first time I saw it and being so excited about the track list - only to get it home, play it once, realise that the sources were oh-so-common and never play it again. Traded it away and vowed never to part with cash for bootlegs again regardless of their dressing up.
