This is a TERRIFIC sounding audience recording of a classic pre-Murmur gig, at the Strand
Cabaret in Marietta, GA. It's one of the best AUD recordings I've ever heard - at first I thought
it was a soundboard recording but you can hear too much audience chatter for that to be the case.
Either way, it's a phenomenal gig, and it is from a very critical part of the band's career - many
of the songs that would end up on "Murmur" were written during this time, and you can hear the
differences pretty clearly here. "Perfect Circle" is debuted here and played with a drum machine -
this is why it was dropped from the live set shortly after summer 1982 until the Green tour, when
they could do it justice.
