A low gen tape from the collection of Alan Bershaw. Based on the mix, it's either a very FOB or it's a house mix recorded for broadcast or something like that. This appears to be the entire show minus the encore. The band returns to stage for a split second before the tape ends (edited out, here). The Hartford Courant places this show on June 20.

Enjoy!
