Notes:

This was the second of two nights opening for John Cale at My Father's Place.

Can't find anything on the bot of this show ever appearing on dime before, although there's a 1978 show from the venue that's been here. Sometimes this show circulates as the 12 January, but since this is a third gen, going with the date listed. If anyone happens to have the other night's set (whether misdated or whatever, with a different setlist), please share.

"Fan Mail" is introduced in its early incarnation as "For Money, No Love."

Decently clear set -- here it is as originally converted and saved years ago (except that I udpated the title of the aforementioned track). Glad the hard drive for this held up.

Over the years on dime, EZT, the Archival Group, and through all the various and assorted other trading groups online preceding that, and the CDR, DAT, and analog cassette traders which came before, I've gathered a moderate collection of items to share. I've helped with transfers (the Cactus and related uploads from over a decade ago here, and currently a bite out of the massive Stonecutter Archives), contributed setlists and corrections to many a torrent -- all the sort of things that don't raise one's share ratio. I've shared some of my masters back in the old snail mail days, but it's high time to give back more here from where I've received so much. I had meant to do a roll-out with something grand and possibly a series (Elegymart #1, #2, etc.), but that's been done countless times before.

At this point not only have we've all aged along with dime's existence, but our media and the equipment that can play it back has as well. So rather than any fanfare or concern over share ratio, consider this upload another step in a more diligent attempt to beat the time and to circulate the collection.

Enjoy,
