Important notes :
I double checked the date and the venue that were reported on the cassette box and they are right.
In Shout Petty speaks about Detroit and before he said this is the first gig of the new tour.
Regarding the recording i received this in trade many years ago on 2 C60 maxell tapes. This explain
the fades in and out due to the end of the tapes that the taper filled completely, splitting some
songs in 2 parts. In addition there are some speed problems in 3 songs as indicated, the speed
change, so the original taper messed up in some ways or he used a really bad recorder. I decided
to offer this anyway for various reasons. First because this is an ultra rare show, with an amazing
set list and the quality of the sound is pretty good overall. The show is complete and even with the
problems indicated you don't loose any music. Second, but not least reason, is that this show is a must
in my opinion, i prefer have it like this that don't have it at all, and i think all of you music lovers
thinks like i do about it.....So you are warned about the problems of this recording, you decide
what to do.....
