It was raining and cold the evening of this show, so bad weather mars the recording a bit. I had to cover the recorder to keep it dry, and because the main bowl at Artpark was full of umbrellas that blocked the view of the stage I sat on the side hill and watched the show on the monitor. Consequently this was taped about 15 fet in front of the satellite PA, not the main stacks.

ZZ played only about an hour and ten minutes, then got the hell out of there. Those old Texans can't handle the cold, as evidenced by the badly played guitar solos. Billy's hands must have been cold and stiff.

They also started without any introduction or tape, so I was kinda taken by surprise, barely getting the recorder booted up in time for the first notes. Eventually the moisture got to the rocorder, because during the last song it just shut off and didn't turn back on for a couple days.
