Notes: Sound = C+
-No setlist of this show circulated really except from this CDR cource, no less a copy in some of the more trusted vaults
-This is the first PROOF this show happened and contains the first verson of the skanky Merle tune “The Jealous Kind”..ya gotta love it!
-This is a complete remastering. What i had, had issues. I took about three months to get to this happy medium between quality and an overprocessed feel.
-Most songs cut in or out
-Thanks Jjoops for the source and where is Alan Bershaw? Anyone?

Single set show that barely extends over onto a second disc (85 minutes).

Disc 1

02 That’s What Love Will Make You Do [09:05]
03 Welcome To The Basement [11:04]
04 Make It Better [06:37]
05 I’ll Take A Melody [11:21]
06 Lovely Night For Dancing [13:27]
Total time: 55:43

Disc 2
01 Struggling Man [06:15]
02 Instrumental [16:42]
03 What You Won’t Do For Love [06:23]
Total time: 29:20

Comments: Previously uncirculated SBD with minimal hiss (despite the lineage) and pauses between most tracks occasionally clipping the beginning of the track.

Excellent horny performance of TWLWMYD and some extended blazing soloing during I’ll Take A Melody.

The total recording was about 85 minutes. If you want you can fit the first 8 tracks on a single 80 minute disc and then just burn a single track disc 2 with filler.

NB: Caveat on speed and pitch. Almost every song is paused between, as noted. This can cause the speed and pitch to vary per song. And mid song, a tune can catch up and sound better than at the start. Each song WAS carefully listened to and my thought here is NONE are too far out of whack as to be offensive. Having no comparison source, and variations throughout based on the aformentioned issues, I chose to leave most songs as they were on the original transfer. If some gifted ears out there have an issue with any tunes and would like to lend their virtuoso on making it just exactly perfect, I’d be eager to work with you. A fresh analog transfer of this soundboard source would be wonderful but this certainly suffices for now.
