A this and that production.

comments:
This appears to be the complete late show of the Dixie Dregs in Boston.
There is some level variation in a part of Cruise Control on the right side,
other than that it's quite enjoyable sound quality, very little crowd noise
this time. It's a good show too, but not as high energy as the 1980 Boston show.
(same place, previous tour). This one has Mark O'Connor on the violin,
I think the other one is before he joined. It's a little different flavor of
Dixie Dregs than the 1980 show, but still good playing, sounds like Mark was
fitting in fine. The tape was flipped just after Punk Sandwich ends and I didn't
notice anything missing. I spliced it so you may not even notice a tape flip at all.
if you like the Dixie Dregs with Mark O'Connor, you should enjoy hearing this.

Trade freely and losslessly.
And may the force of the
Dregs be with you.
