This venue has always been one of my favorite places to see a concert. It is a moderately sized outdoor venue in the high desert of New Mexico,
on the grounds of the Santa Fe Indian School. A few years ago, there was talk of demolishing it, but I don't know if that came to pass or not.
It was usually pretty easy to get your gear into the place, as long as your rig was not too big. On the night in question, we arrived early,
and were able to park within sight of the entry gate. We had brought a blanket, because even in the summer, it cools off quite a bit after
sundown at 7,000 feet altitude. I wrapped up my gear in the blanket, but the Security guy found it. He was very nice about it when he told me
I had to leave the gear in the car. We went back to the car, which was facing away from the gate, and made a good show of putting the gear in
the boot, while I actually hid it in my pants. Before you all go EWWWW, the rig was wrapped in a plastic freezer bag. We must have been very
convincing, because he waved us right through on our second entry.

This recording is quite listenable, but nothing spectacular. I'll give it a 7 out of 10, but I tend to be conservative. I don't believe it has
been circulated before this, although I may have made a copy or two for friends back in the day. I may have a title or two wrong here, and I
welcome corrections. I have question marks by songs I'm not sure of. I did my best to track the show, but I am new at tracking, and since Frank
plays straight through, I could be off here and there. Please bear with me. I split the discs at the first tape flip, and I did not try to do
any splicing, so the last part of Carolina Hard Core Ecstasy on Disc 2 is very short.

Frank also mentions Tom Smothers, but I don't remember seeing him, so it might be just Frank's inside joke.
