Ann Arbor, MI
1985
venue & exact date unknown (possibly early in the year)
soundboard recording (quality VG++; occasional vocal distortion, from poorly-adjusted levels at the mixing desk, prevents this from getting a higher rating). This is an outstanding show and excellent performance. ENJOY!

Thanks for this. Sound is definitely troubled on the first track but gets a whole lot better as set goes on
ReplyDeleteSo true! I guess even the best sound engineers can't get all the levels properly adjusted until the audience is in the room and the gig starts...
