Notes

1-14 Recorded live at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England on February 7, 1981
15-25 Recorded live at Tuts in Chicago, Illinois on May 28, 1982

Great sound quality, and a wonderful pair of concerts. The Manchester gig is another Sour Grapes appearance (i.e. featuring Simon Nicol), and an alternative title for the bootleg would probably be Get on with it, Simon! The second concert is the last Richard & Linda concert that I currently own. Essential.
