A solid, low-gen SBD of the early Radiators. Thanks to Rob for collecting and hanging on to it!

The tape was marked "I and II" but seems short for the entire show. Instead, there is a hard gap before Total Evaporation that may mark the end of Set I or perhaps an early show, since the band says "Good night" after People Get Ready. There are no other gaps in the tape other than at the very beginning of 19th Nervous Breakdown, which is right where the tape flip would have been. The both sets end with a farewell from the stage and there is no encore, at least not here. The set breaks shown here are an educated guess. In any case, these tracks are all that circulate as of February 2023.

Enjoy!
