SQ: 8.5-9/10, vg+ to ex- (mostly ex-) IMHO as always

I taped this concert myself over 18 years ago so the ole memory
is starting to get a little hazy. The place was packed with
drunken college kids (DeKalb is a college town and also the
hometown of Cindy Crawford, supermodel and furniture huckster ;
her brain is < her mole). For drunken college kids they
amazingly weren't too badly behaved. I was close enough to the
stage that a lot of their bullshit noise was drowned out. I don't
recall an opening band but DZ was in fine form. I also don't
know the name of their lead guitarist @ the time but he was
EXCELLENT ! A real fretboard shredder. Tortelvis was hilarious
and very clear on the recording but the guy who did the Jamaican-
accented monologues during the songs was hard to understand.
This show sounds great on headphones so give 'em a try. I deleted
about 90 seconds of screaming before the encore so you can thank
me now or later. Welllllll, that's about all that I can remember
to report about the show so let's get this little gem on the
golden road to spiritual enlightenment...

Finally, no buy, no sell, no mp3. Please seed this as long as you can.
I will post a few samples to help people decide if they want this
but trust me, it's a really great show that is a MUST-HAVE for
all Dread Zeppelin fans. Listen to this on headphones for an enjoyable
experience! Well, thanks for reading this and Mr. Natural would like
to add these few comments: have fun, don't freak out and by all means,
enjoy the concert !!!
