Also exists on LP without the rehearsal tracks.
Tracks 1-5 are from the special one-off gig with Dissection and Satyricon. Satyr plays bass on these Darkthrone tracks (ironic, because I think he had some sort of hand problem preventing him from playing with Satyricon that night). It's a pretty good audience recording. There's no real stage banter.
Video footage of the Lahti gig exists, and "Life" is on the DVD from the special edition of "Preparing for War." There are breaks between these tracks and they have been rearranged from the original gig order; at the end of track 9 you can just start to hear the spoken introduction to track 6. "A Blaze..." is the only song from these tracks with any vocals, and even then, there's not much (in the video footage of the Riihimäki gig the day before, Ted Skjellum mentions he lost his voice, and he doesn't sing very much in either show).
Track 8 is actually introduced as "Life" and "Trident" was introduced by name at the Riihimäki gig. Since both these songtitles were actually used on the "Preparing for War" DVD, I guess these are supposed to be the official names, at least for these live versions. As I've noted above, they're actually (early?) versions of "Goatlord" tracks.
Tracks 10 and 11 (with worse soundquality and sounding slightly deeper in pitch) are on the "Crossing the Triangle of Flames" bootleg 7". Tracks 10, 12, and 13 were also officially released in the 3-disc special edition of "Preparing for War," and on those versions they left in a bit more ambient/background noise at the beginning of each track.

Tracks 1 and 2 are broken into seperate, non-continuous tracks. Since they were originally continuous, this makes the "Thulcandra" material here a bit inferior to versions on other bootlegs.
Looking at the bootleg, you might think track 9 is "Snowfall" from the '88 "A New Dimension" tape. On the bootleg it's mentioned as being an "Unreleased Demo 1989" and that the title was later changed to "The Watchtower." However, it actually IS "The Watchtower" from the "Cromlech" demo. You can even hear 2 seconds of the bass intro to "Accumulation Of Generalization" (which followed it on the demo) at the end of the track.

11. Kathaarian Life Code |
I think this was the first of the Darkthrone bootleg CDs to appear. There are apparently two versions of this bootleg which have different prints on the CD. Mine has what looks to be a glacier or coastal cliffs. I've heard the other version may not have fade-outs/gaps between the track indexes; this one does.
The location is listed as "Esberg" on the bootleg. The "Thulcandra" demo is also listed as being from 1988.
In the intro to track 4, it's mentioned that this is their first gig outside of Norway. Considering what they were to become, some of the overly-humble stage banter is hilarious:
Hey! Mr. Sound Engineer, are you ready?
...We're Darkthrone, from Norway...We came all the way to do this show. I hope you like it.
...We think you're a nice crowd, really...
Uhh...We shot the wideo on this...
Track 8 is just the crowd chanting "Darkthrone" after the set.
Track 11 is a fake live concoction. It's just a bad-quality recording of the normal studio version of "Kathaarian Life Code," minus the intro, with some added background noise and talking.
Although the '90 gig has since been officially released (first just "Neptune Towers" on the "Preparing for War" CD, and then the full gig was released in the "Frostland Tapes" set), the bootleg actually still has a bit more material--the "Mr. Sound Engineer" bit from the beginning and the crowd noise at the end of the gig didn't make it to the official release.

Note that "Eon" and "Thulcandra"--as well as "(Weird) Manheim" and "Pure Fucking Armageddon"--are listed seperately on the back insert. However, there's no track numbering anywhere on the bootleg anyway, so I'm not going to bother with correct/incorrect tracklisting lists.
