This is not the band "Slowtrain" (http://theslowtrainband.com/), whose members weren't born when this show happened. Instead:

Stephen Tubin - piano (from Brooklyn)
Glenn "Sperm" Mitchell - organ (Stillwater, OK)
Richard Crooks - drums (CA)
John Crowder - bass (Fairfax, OK)
Ron Getman - guitar (Fairfax, OK)
Loudon Wainwright - Vocals

A nice SBD of the opening act to Loudon Wainwright III. The right channel was recorded or transferred too hot and the waveform zeros out, although there is no distortion. This pushed the stereo balance too far to the right. This has been improved by running the Ozone 5 Maximizer on the left channel, but it's still not perfect.

The right channel also suffers from a half-dozen dropouts or other glitches. These have been corrected by using the left channel to fill the gap seamlessly, although you may be aware of the patch.

This and Loudon Wainwright's performance, which followed, sometimes circualte dated April 19. The 9th is correct.

Enjoy!
