Low gen tape, a bit "loud" sounding, that said . . . the sound is still Very Good.
Again, likely to be an upgrade for those who have a copy.

Out of the two versions that used to be traded on tape, this is the better sounding
and complete version. The cut during Doctor Dark is still present on this copy.
In fact, I have several different copies of this show and it is on ALL of them.
Oh well. The band is ripping here. Don's timing is a bit off on a couple of songs
( Safe As Milk & Veteran's Day Poppy being the most obvious ).
The version of Hot Head here is pretty far out, a bit "jammy" actually !
Don's horn is way loud and totally out of control on Veteran's Day Poppy and
Suction Prints. Look Out !
