This comes from what must have been an excellent soundboard source, and is a
typically great performance from MF and the band. It sounds like it’s several
generations down the line from the original, with a fair amount of tape hiss between
songs, though still very listenable. Surely there must be a better and more complete
version out there somewhere. The missing parts of tracks 4 and 5 seem like they are
a product of sloppy cassette copying, whereas the missing ending of Hey Jude is just
plain tragic. Still, there is plenty to listen to.
