What a great little evening of fun! One of the best bands EVER, in their prime, in a dirty little bar in my "home" town. This was the second time I'd seen The Blasters, so I knew what I was in for, and they didn't disappoint! Unfortunately, I didn't have a real rig then; this was recorded with the recorder I used to record lectures at The Ohio State University at the time. At least it is documented and is definately listenable. Enjoy this one!


I have been recording shows since the mid 1980's. Many of these shows were traded and widely circulated on cassette tape back in the day. This effort is to create a fresh transfer of my master recordings from the original media and provide an unaltered version (except volume boost if needed and/or fade) of these shows. I will include as much information about the equipment used to create the recording, as well as the process and tools used for the transfer as I can. Enjoy!
