To be released on May 29, 2020

Frankfurt '86 is an upcoming CD/DVD album of Allan's concert on February 16, 1986, at Kongresshalle in Frankfurt, Germany. The audio and video has been located from the original broadcast masters of Hessische Rundfunk, and the quality surpasses existing bootlegs to the extent that it's like watching the concert for the very first time, judging by the video preview that has been released:

The setlist for the show as it was originally broadcast:

Three Sheets to the Wind Letters of Marque Tokyo Dream Looking Glass Atavachron Non Brewed Condiment White Line Shallow Sea Devil Take the Hindmost

The lineup for this concert features Gary Husband on drums, Jimmy Johnson on bass and Kei Akagi on keyboards.

This concert is unique in that it is the first known professionally shot concert performance of Allan playing the SynthAxe. This shows, as the system malfunctions on stage a couple times during the concert. Nevertheless, the performance is stellar. Preorder links should be available on Amazon sometime in April 2020.
