NOTE:
G.E. Smith – Guitar “OUT-SICK”
That’s why Neil filled in in the first place then stayed onboard for the next two Bay Area shows as well in Berkeley and Mt. View.
That’s probably the reason for the shorter show?

    Bob’s energetic banter and the swift tempos sound like they’re due to the cheap blow available in the 80s. Hearty thanks for the post.
