Comments

Fair sounding recording. Music and vocals come through quite muffled, so there is a huge lack of clarity. Moreover, there is some raw warbling throughout the tape. Crowd noise is minimal although a few stray voices are noticeable. Note Tomorrow fades out at 04:12 due to a tape flip. From this point to the end, the recording sounds slightly worse. Out of Control contains an edit at 03:40, so some seconds of the song are missing. Same for 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, with a skip at 01:27.

The band delivered a pretty good show, despite of having played this same evening on Newcastle for the Tiny Tees show, a four-song set on a TV studio in front of a small crowd. The long drive from Newcastle to Leeds caused the concert to be delayed, and it started more than an hour later than expected.
