Shows from this tour do not seem to be seen that often. Indeed, shows from the band in the 1970s and 1980s don't seem to exist in large quantity. It's always fantastic to see this stuff, and something with a setlist like this I would say is worth having if you are fan of this band (more so if you are a fan of this era). The sound here is not the very best, but it is nowhere near as bad as some would describe it to be. It is a bit rough and I suspect there may be some generations to this, but none of this renders this to be unlistenable. The second time around that Houseparty is played, it seems to be cut off. There is also some question about the date, as some suggestions abound that the date was February 10, 1978 and not February 14, 1978. Definitive proof either way would be appreciated.
