Tapeflip between cuts 10 and 11,18 and 19; tape cut between 21 and 22 for encore. Occasional pauses to save tape between songs.


For a tour that had a very consistent setlist and program to it, this set is unique in that the lighting generator caught fire after about the first 35 minutes of the show. The band took a break and then came back and played the remainder of the set without their usual lighting.

Although the crowd is fairly loud between songs, generally the recording is quite good during the music itself. I don�t know whether this recording circulates much these days, but there�s no evidence of it here. This is the first time I�ve digitized my second-generation copy, so it seemed worth sharing. If anyone has either the master or a copy made directly from the master, please feel free to post it.

Enjoy. Buy the band�s recordings, go see its former members when you can.
