John Langdon has been taping shows for more than twenty years, a great many of them documenting the music scene in Albuquerque in the 80s and 90s. Most of his shows are on tape cassettes, but a great many of them are on seven or ten inch reels. Over the course of time they will begin to see the light of day and be shared with music lovers everywhere. Thanks to John for his generosity in sharing what he's collected.

This two hour show is missing the last song, "Reelin' and Rockin'" due to the tape's having run out. This was the 47th show of a 50 show tour. What makes this tour unusual is that the tour's fifty shows ran on fifty consecutive nights (actually, there was a 51st show). Please listen to the samples* before you download so you won't be disappointed by any deficits in the audio quality.
