Early 1978 show before Denny Walley was out of the band. This tape is a bit lacking in high end ( I believe the source/master tape was like that ) and the crowd is a bit chatty, despite that this show is very good sounding and a great listen. Any Magic Band featuring Denny is a great listen ! Too bad he was never featured on any official release/s with the band. A early take on the then new song " When I See Mommy I Feel Like A Mummy " is a bit different that the arrangement that became the standard. Pretty Interesting. Don also makes a dedication before the song to Dweezil Zappa & King Tut !

When This show was traded on tape years ago it was often missing the last song,
Big Eyed Beans From Venus. I have three copies of this show here in the archives
and the best version I had was missing that song. Another, lesser quality, copy had it.

As this incomplete ( missing the last song ) version is the best copy I have here, the last song is added on from the lesser quality tape to make this show complete. At the end of the better copy you hear a person ( the taper or a friend perhaps (?) ) say the word 'Great'. I started the last track with that same persons comment, as to assure anybody listening that it is indeed the same show ! Great. It's complete. Enjoy.
