Let's Active - Chicago 1986

LOSSLESS REPOST
Cabaret Metro
Chicago, IL
July 2, 1986
   
audience recording (sound quality VG++; transfer from first-generation tape source; virtually no bothersome crowd noise; this one sounds so good, I almost rated it Ex-)

ROB SEZ: At first, I didn’t consider this show for the blog because it’s one of the more common ones. Silly me. After actually listening to it, I can hear it’s one of the best shows around, combining a great performance and very good sound. Massive thanks to to the taper and to john52il for sharing.

  3. Nice set! Curious about the hollering at the start. Did SoP really open or was someone just taunting Mitch?

    1. Dunno, but I caught that shout-out, too. Sara R. played in Snatches of Pink, so there might be a connection there...

    1. That and (hopefully) all the other links here are still working. If you find a recording that you want but the link's broken, just leave a comment to let me know. Enjoy.
