Richard Thompson Band
March 15, 1985 (1985-03-15)
Wolfgang's
San Francisco, California, USA

CONTRAST CLAUSE:
This is a significant upgrade direct from cassette masters over the copies posted at:
www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=419748
This upgrade also includes an excerpt from the soundcheck that is not in the previous post.
(That previous version is from this same original source so it has the same issues with the early show mix.)
END CONTRAST CLUSE

The soundcheck is an excellent audience recording.
The 2 shows are soundboard - The early show unfortunately has some serious overloaded mix issues which are mostly worked out by the end of the early show. The late show is excellent quality soundboard. (All cassette master)
