Notes

Maybe an FM recording, rather than a SBD. In any event, it's not the greatest SBD/FM recording you'll ever hear, but it's a smoking performance and the sound quality is good, but not great.

This is a retracked version of the bootleg called "Birthday Bash". It was originally pressed on vinyl in a limited quantity of 100 copies but this version is from a copied CD from label Exile Records out of Germany. Unfortunately this show is incomplete and is missing the final six songs but the sound quality - although a bit rough - is still superior to the vinyl version.

The bootleg is poorly tracked, with several tracks containing two songs.

Here is the way it's tracked on the "Birthday Bash" boot:

01 Loudmouth / Beat On The Brat
02 Blitzkrieg Bop / I Remember You
03 Glad To See You Go / Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment
04 You're Gonna Kill That Girl
05 I Don't Care
06 Sheena Is A Punk Rocker / Rockaway Beach
07 Commando
08 Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
09 Surfin' Bird
10 Cretin Hop / Listen To My Heart
11 California Sun
12 I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You / Pinhead
13 break before encore
14 Suzy Is A Headbanger
15 Chain Saw / Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World
16 break before second encore
17 Now I Want To Be A Good Boy / Let's Dance
