True Blue was a bar somewhere on the Upper East Side, probably a small venue with a small, sedate crowd, and the show is more laid back and sounds better for that. The tape is marked "Set I + Set II" but from comments before Son of a Preacher Man ("another song, another break, another set"), this could be Sets II and III, instead. There was plenty of room at the end of the tape, so odds are there was no encore.

Enjoy!
