BIG thanks to the original taper & glenn s for the share!

Highlights: a rare live performance of "Darby Hall" and pre-The Sound of Music performance of "Any Old Thing."

Nice hat, Will. Cool shades, Gene & Rick. Nice ... nice PEN, Peter!

Rob Sez: One of the earlier shows in the tour promoting Like This. So early, in fact, that Peter says the album is not out yet, and due to be released “next month”. The band sounds well rehearsed and glad to be playing again in public after a long absence. (Fair warning: the vocals sound a tad distant and there’s a dropout a coupla secs. long at the beginning of “New Gun”.)
