Note 1: I know there are other copies of this show available through the internet. I recorded this show 31 years ago with my Sony Boombox. This is the first time these tapes have been digitized from the master tapes. I'm sure 30+ years ago I shared my tapes with a handful of friends and that base grew. I'm glad the music lives on.

Note 2: This recording was made 31 years ago and I do not remember why I started the tape after the band started. At one point in the tape I hear myself talking to someone about the batteries. I around 25 years old at the time and didn't have much money for extra tapes (hence the cheap DAK tapes), batteries, tickets and any photos taken at the time. Long way of saying that I might have been trying to save tape or battery life. Anyone's guess at this time.

Note 3: Before digitizing these tapes I do go through a process of running the tapes through a fast forward and rewind to "tighten" the tape. It has been 30+ years since last played. All three of these tapes broke from the leader tape (on both sides A and B). I did lose 1 or 2 seconds at the start of A and B sides. I did not go through the KRW_CO and splice any loss. I'll leave that for someone else.

Note 4: This is the order the songs were played and listed are the musicians that played that night. Stevie does give the band line up during the sets.

Note 5: Thanks to JimmyP9 who named Albert's Alley from his comments on KRW_CO upload:
Track 06. is "Alberts Alley" ish & a little "Frosty" etc.
He babbles its a bunch of Albert Collins at the end
