Thanks again to iowaboy48 who requested that I upload this beauty! This is my EQ/Volume-leveled version. Original silver sound quality: 6 - 7.5 / 10. Will attempt to post mp3 for comparison. Can/Will be willing to subsequently upload original version later, by request.

This is far and away the best sounding and most well-performed show (circulating) by the original lineup. IMO, these performances show the band at it's peak as a "hard-rock" act. Those only familiar with the relatively tame studio versions of these songs will be surprised/shocked at volume and intensity of these live-in-studio (with small crowd) performances. WARNING: This is not soul/jazz/pop music. This has no association whatsoever with anything by Steely Dan or Michael McDonald. This is pure hard guitar rock. IMO, this is easily the best bootleg ever made featuring the "REAL" line-up! Never before seeded on DIME. Perhaps early days of EZT. Perplexingly hard to locate (outside of DB trade circles) considering high quality...
