CONTRAST CLAUSE: I cleaned up the hiss of this concert (the original version is here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=485581), so now the lineage is:
AUD M6 Cassette > Total Recall > wav > Audacity (tracking) > flac (8)> wav > Izotope RX > wav > flac (8)

For me, it's quite listenable now and a great concert, check the samples.

ORIGINAL TEXT FILE

I received this tape as the 22nd of July. I have seen it listed as
the 15th and the 21st as well. I believe it to be the 15th for a
couple of reasons; first, the Wire Gigography at pinkflag.com suggests
that the 15th was the only night in which two sets were performed, and
second, there is no evidence to suggest that they performed at all on the 22nd.

There are posters for CBGB's shows in July of 1978 that show the following:

07/10/78 Sham 69/ Spicey Bits
07/11/78 Sham 69/ Spicey Bits
07/12/78 Sham 69/ Spicey Bits

07/13/78 Wire/ Contortions
07/14/78 Wire/ Student Teachers
07/15/78 Wire/ Student Teachers

07/16/78 Regina Richards & Red Hot/ Ludacer
07/17/78 UK Squeeze/ Nervous Rex
07/18/78 The Nuns/ Rubber City Rebels
07/19/78 The Nuns/ The Jonsez
07/20/78 The Know
07/21/78 The Know
07/22/78 The Feelies
07/23/78 DNA/ The Blessed
07/24/78 Richie Teeter 5/ The Planets
07/25/78 The Rozz/ Mars

Apparently they arrived late and missed the scheduled two set show on the 13th,
scheduling pick-up gigs first for the "Live at CBGB Theatre, New York " on July
18th 1978 which was captured at the New York club's auxiliary theater (not the
club proper) for a radio broadcast (probably on Friday the 21st on WPIX FM),
and following with gigs on the 20th and 21st.

I have included images of three CBGB's posters two of which show the above dates
(more for less) with The Know and The Feelies playing (I know the Feelies
definitely did), and a third which indicates that the 20 and 21 were a "Special
Weekend" and no longer listed any particular band.

I have included a bonus cut at the end of the Soft Option in 1981 performing
one cut at Hurrah's (which is all I have or have ever seen from this gig - Cyrus
