Comments

This is the oldest recording I have in my collection. Sound quality is fair to good, but nice considering its age. It seems to come from an old TV broadcast by the RTE in Ireland. There is some tape degradation throughout the recording, and the sound is pretty muffled. Moreover, there is some hiss in the quieter parts of the gig. However, this is a huge upgrade to other versions or transfers in circulation, including the well-known 'Glad to See You Go'. This transfer is very listenable, as music and vocals sound clear and strong.

This is the only recording that includes The King's New Clothes and Inside Out. Moreover, the band did a cover of Glad to See You Go, a song by The Ramones.
