There is some uncertainty regarding the venue. An alternate source - a first-generation cassette received from the taper in the mid-90s - was labeled The Corner Cafe, Metairie. Meanwhile, James is known to have had a regular Monday-Friday gig in May 1982 at the Crescent City Cafe in the French Quarter. No listing for this specific date could be found in newspaper publication archives.
Thank you to Prof. Goody for performing his pitch-tuning magic and Tamiya for providing the source.
