Quality - 9.5-10/10 (ex, IMHO as always). This is the ENTIRE concert.
As far as I know, this concert is uncirculated.

I attended and recorded this show at Davis Park and it was great. I don't
know what the majority of the people who were there were doing there as
it seems that 95% of them talked through the entire fucking performance. 
Honest to God, a legendary band comes to a podunk-ass town that is starved
for quality entertainment and almost all of these assholes are talking 
about their cars/jobs/kids/mental problems/ailments etc. Stay the hell
home and talk to the wall. 

In case you're wondering, On The Waterfront is a city festival in Rockford, IL
which is held every Labor Day weekend. Many bands perform on many different
stages & it's a good chance to view many diverse musical genres. This Tubes
show was one of those performances. The recording itself is very clear with
no hiss & no distortion. Even though there is a constant low-level background
murmur of chattering assholes, the music drowns it out and the recording is
so clear that I thought it deserved a straight excellent. 

The vocals & instruments are very clear and the taper was never very far away
from the stage. I started at the middle of the crowd and slowly worked my way
forward to avoid loudmouth assholes. The sound slowly changes as the concert 
goes on and I get closer to the front of the stage. It gets very trebly here
but is still excellent. There is a tape flip in Track 11 and a tape switch at 
either Track 17 or 18. These have been welded seamlessly but if you listen 
closely, you'll hear the music jump in those places. There is no artwork. 
The show fits on 2 74 min. CDs. Fee's onstage banter between songs is hilarious 
and well worth the price of admission. This is a great concert by a great band 
and will be adored by Tubes fans everywhere. WE NEED MORE TUBES MUSIC ON THE DIME. 
Well, that's about all that I have to say, so let's wrap this up...

Please don't convert this to mp3 or other lossy formats. Please don't sell or 
buy this recording. Trade freely and seed this as long as you can. Let's get
more Tubes recordings on the Dime. Here are a few suggestions: reseeds of all
of the Glass House (?) recordings (a series), liberated bootlegs like Darted In
My Own Armchair and a Holy Grail request: Tubes, Shank Hall, Milwaukee, WI 2000/
November 2 thru 4 (exact date unknown). I had to travel far away the next day & 
it was impossible for me to attend the show. I'm POSITIVE that somebody in 
Milwaukee has this recording. Please post it if you have it. If it does not
exist, anything from that time period would be fine. TIA ! That's about all that 
I can think of to say, so enjoy the show, have fun & don't freak out...
