This is a pretty good show with fine version of Streets of Arklow & Little Village. The Van portion of the ran to 82 minutes so I left the Laverne Brown tracks in (though they are not to my taste). I tried to edit to fit on 1 80 minute disc but it could not be done.

Hope you enjoy it.

Note for the anally retentive. This is a very nice recording but there are a couple of places where you can hear a seat squeak and one little bit of mic noise where the taper bumps the mic. If this bothers you don’t download it.

This is a nice show with fine version of Little Village & The healing has begun. Van Howlin on ‘the wolf’s’ Smokestack lightnin is a rare treat. All in all the two Swansea shows are a very nice package. Certainly a step up from the Same ol, same old phoned in performances in recent months.

Hope you enjoy it.
