This Is A Complete Show I Got From A An Old Time Nyc Taper. He
Recorded It Himself And May Have Spread It Around A Bit Back In The
Day, But I've Not Really Come Across It Elsewhere In My Travels. He
Has Since Dropped Off The Radar And I've Not Been Able To Raise Him
For Years. You Out There, Vinny?

I Had An Incomplete Version Of This Same Show Taped By A Guy In New
Jersey Once But, Like I Said, This Source Is Complete. The Sound
Quality Is Average - Somewhat Distorted At The Loud Parts. Also, One
Channel's A Bit Louder Than The Other And There's A Couple Cuts Here
And There But Nothing Significant.

But The Playing Is Hot And In Your Face. The Band Was On This
Particular Night! The Audience? Well, It's A New York Crowd, If You
Know What I Mean. They're Very Enthusiastic, Though Their Histrionics
Are Mostly Confined To The Spaces Between Songs, So It's All Good.
Adds To The Overall Excitement Of The Gig. What I'm Trying To Say Is
That This Is One Sweaty Night In New York City And I Love It!

But That's Just Me. If You're Looking For Top Notch Sound Quality,
Maybe This Isn't For You. I'm Trying A Couple Mp3 Samples This Time
(If I Can Do It Right), So You Can Decided For Yourself.
