I was given the cassettes for this show just a few years ago. They had been stored in the basement of a house of people I know and when they all moved out after over 20 years, a large box of Catalyst masters was apparently found while packing. Don't get your hopes up too much because most of the cassettes turned out to be non-interesting local bands, but there were a few exceptions, and here is one of them. This transfer is likely the first time this has been played since the night of the show. The setlist has been added to an info file update so download it or just copy the setlist if you want it.

ENJOY!
