Comments

A fair recording of a show that has been pretty difficult to find in decent shape. Although all instruments and vocals come through pretty well and clear, this recording is marred by a good portion of hiss, loud background noises and lots of volume fluctuation periods (this last issue occurs mostly in the first couple of songs).

 

Out of Control cuts in halfway the song, and it is highly affected by the volume fluctuations mentioned above. Due to a tape flip, A Day Without Me cuts out abruptly at 02:57, and New Year's Day cuts in missing the first seconds. Party Girl and 11 O'Clock Tick Tock have been indexed togheter into one sole track.
