Toronto, Ontario

Audience Recording

This is a very nice recording, very crisp and clean, this must've been very close to the stage to get such a clear recording, the O'Keefe Centre ( now known as The Hummingbird Centre) is quite a large venue, not as huge as the Air Canada Centre, or the Skydome, but it's quite a large concert house.

But the vocals and instruments are coming in nicely, and the audience is quite polite during the show. The taper yells out a lot of requests to the band, I think Joe acknowledges him, when he requests " White Riot", he says " White Man", then they go into " White Man In Hammersmith Palais".

" White Riot" is played at a break neck speed, clocking around 2 minutes, Joe really freaks out at the end of the song, and the rest of it is filled with banter from the taper about Teenage Head and purchasing a colour t.v.
