Comments:

This show was recorded for FM broadcast and has appeared in trading circles many times over the years. It was torrented in this form in spring 2006; the recording was used for a weekly syndicated radio show called "Studio Jam" in the 1980s (the bands were not necessarily in the studio, which makes the title somewhat confusing) and this recording was cited as a pre-FM for that source. The quality is excellent....

Typical high-energy 1979 performance; this one's worth having if you haven't heard it, and if you do have it, it will probably be an upgrade.
