Note from sharer: This "show" was performed shortly after The Feelies split up and Glenn Mercer and Dave Weckerman were just starting to put together Wake Ooloo. Russel Gambino, a future member of Wake Ooloo, performs here with Glenn and Dave on a number of Feelies, Yung Wu and various cover songs. No WO songs here, perhaps because none was written yet.
