Fingerprint file is included. Sorry, no artwork.
Comments: Really nice soundboard recording from a 1st gen. cassette; this is listed on several sites as taking place on 12/8/87; however, since I got this from the taper, I'm going with the date he listed on the tape. This is a solo show; Dylan's Cafe must be a very small place, because the performance is very quiet and intimate, as though he's performing before a few friends.
The sound quality is what one would expect from a 1st gen. board -- it sounds great to me. The fidelity is really nice; you feel like you're sitting next to him.
I included five songs from Bob Margolin's opening set as filler. There are a few cuts; I imagine that the taper recorded parts of Margolin's set just to set levels.
This is well worth the d/l for even a casual fan of Rick Danko and/or The Band. There are a lot of uncommon songs in the set.
Note: One site I found listed "Christmas Must Be Tonight" as the final song of the second set; I suspect that it wasn't performed in the second show, however.
