Certainly nice and clear for an early CBGBs tape. The undisputed highlight is the unrecorded song "Let Me Out" on disc 1. A real shame this song isn't better known. "A song about Royalty - that is heartless and kind". This show also features Torn Curtain and Guiding Light - both songs very rare on existing recordings. Also an early Foxhole and I Don't Care (later renamed Careful). It is worth noting this show was recorded a year before their first album Marquee Moon was released.
