This is a retracked re-seed of a tape previously posted on binaries newsgroup by "Chunga"

In some way it found the way to may hard drive and being at my ears the best sounding version
i've ever heard of this show i've decided to retrack it my way for mine and yours
listening and burning pleasure.
Work has been made with shntool from the original downloaded flacs. No sound alterations.
I didn't found the original info file, but reported lineage should have been something like that:

Q&C notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This recording has only one cut near the end of A Pound For A Brown.
The recording ends at some point of Florentine Pogen that probably was the last song of the regular setlist.
So all encores are missing.
A little tape defect is audible at about 6:25 of Montana (in the end of the first Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay),
for the rest this recording is nearly perfect!
This recording has been released on many boots, but sure you never heard it in such a good quality!

Having A Good Time In America
Good evening ladies and gentlemen this is Doctor Maurice speaking to you direct from Texas’s most renowned echo chamber.
Our topic for discussion tonight is "Having a good time in America".
Now, what each and everyone of you right now just search deep inside of your very own heart and ask you yourself this question: “Am I having a good time?”
Now ask yourself this question: “How long will it last?”
You see the problem is that in the United States you can have a good time for a little while but you can’t have a good time all the time.
Now, one of the reasons for this is maybe some people don’t really know how they have a good time and they keep trying to have a good time doing the wrong things.
Now, what are the right things to do to have a good time?
Clue number one: many of them take place with your clothes off.
Clue number two: many of them take place not only with your clothes off but in unorthodox positions.
Clue number three: many of them involve vegetables.
Clue number four: some of them involve animals and minerals.
Clue number five: some of them involve rock’n’roll concerts and we’re gonna go right on with this one….
