Comments

Good recording for the first of two visits to Hartford in April, 1985. Overall quality and crispness are pretty good. The blemish is that sometimes the recording brings good clarity and sometimes becomes pretty muffled (first part of the song Seconds is a good example ). There are tiny blips between almost every track. Some light static or distortion is audible in the louder parts of the show, as if taper got the recording levels of his/her equipment too high. However, the concert contains very nice crispness and a great live feeling.
