This show has circulated widely but seems to usually trade missing a few songs to fit on 90 minute tapes. I had 3 different versions and all were incomplete but between them I was able to edit together what sounds like the entire show. My cassettes are labeled FM but the end of the show does not have the FM announcers that are on the beginning and the applause before the encores sounds much too long to not have an FM station ID or something, so possibly that source is pre broadcast soundboard. The performance is especially fired up, Al loves his Connecticut home audience, plus it has The Edmund Fitzgerald on it. What more could you ask for?
