Heere's an AK show that I haven't seen circulate, so here goes. It's a nearly complete performance from soundboard source. The sound quality is a bit muddy but very enjoyable. The show is plagued with a bad mix as you can hear them make adjustments after each song. Finally, near the end, Albert apologizes to the crowd and says they will get out of the way for the next band. Hmmm, still trying to figure out who would be headlining over Albert at Deperado's in 1981. Sample included.
