==================================================================

Here we have the Long Island home boys doing what they do best.

This group goes back to the late 60's.

They were really big on the east coast and toured the world with many big acts.

The Good Rats hit it big with their most popular 1974 LP "Tasty'.

I've heard previous versions of this concert, in my opinion this FM broadcast is the best one.

Yet, this seems to be missing 2 songs 'Fred Upstairs & Ginger Snappers' and "Mean Mother'.

I also see that this has additional songs that i didn't find on older versions.

That being said, If you're a fan, then you need to hear this again in a better way.

No songs are cut, this is the complete broadcast.

I think I have the band members listed correctly, though we know they changed the line-up often.

Members
Peppi Marchello
John Gatto (guitar)
Lenny Kotke (bass)
Joe Franco (drums)
Mike Raffinello (guitar)

Thanks to BR for the tape.
