Total Time ::: 1:37:26
::: Presumably only for completists. Much distortion from oversaturation/too hot recording levels. Check samples for izit4U equatin'.
::: Warts: Distortion, and that's a fact, but not everywhere (hardcores will find some joy). #11 tapeflip cut in middle (almost no music missing).
::: Too bad I screwed up, one of my top 10 gigs at The Horse out of many 100s.
::: Not 100% on the setlist, fast job... Feel free to correct me!

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.
DimeTravel 147 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader, yrs truly. ::: Corrections welcome ::: OK, I can hear the comments now... A kneesfudd dud. Well deserved, I reckon, a major screw-up. REALLY a shame, the band was absolutely on fire. I was spellbound. People were on their feet & going crazy by the end. Really 2 year peak for this band, 1985-86. So far, never seen another tape of this performance. Not many 1986 GonR shows been on DIME, so far less than a handful. Guess I need to do some more diggin'. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
