This is the legendary New Year's Eve show at the Palladium, headlined by the Patti Smith Group, with Television and John Cale opening. Silent film from (backstage) this night was featured in the Amos Poe documentary "The Blank Generation."
Unfortunately, this show was overdubbed on a previously recorded tape...so tape hiss is evident. The taper was trying to conserve space on his C90 cassette, and paused the recording between songs
during the Cale set; most of the songs cut in.
