Before you download this, be warned it may be for Rory completist only. It starts out surprisingly decent, degrades in the middle, & completes with a decent sound again.
Well, I finally made my first set list for this show (having this tape for over 25 years now, 2010) & I'm surprised to hear another version of John Lee Hooker's "Process" track.
This recording has a lot of potential, if we could only find a lower generation recording of it. After the first tape flip, the "unsteady" sound remains through-out.

Comments:
a - Upgrades & uncirculated Rory wanted/needed!
b - This version contains a rarely performed John Lee Hooker track, only the 2nd time I remember hearing Rory do this.
c - This show doesn't circulate much, because of the quality. We need a lower gen here, please! This recording has great potential.
