Comment
“WRS Prelude’ tease after “Me & My Uncle” – Other artist(s): NRPS -full moon -,full lunar eclipse ‘Sugaree” appears on some audience tapes, but may be from another show. The stellar Hard to Handle from the circulating AUD can be heard on the commercial release Fallout from the Phil Zone.
It’s funny that the little bit of the soundboard they found of this show, that was released on “Road Trips Vol. 1 No. 3”, includes this famous Hard To Handle, but it definitely (IMO) is not as pleasurable as this wonderful audience recording.
