Notes

Master cassette tape

A little trouble from the PA system, but not too much. Overall, the sound is pretty good. B/B+.

After quite a bit of discussion, this show has been pinpointed as Gang War's first set of the night. The second set ended around 3am on the 29th, with Iggy making a guest appearance. The fact that the Trude Heller show is on the 29th, and our boys are advertising the Trude Heller's show for "tomorrow night" is further evidence of a two-set night.

JT is slurring his words and obviously not at his best. He seems to straighten out a bit as the show moves. Wayne, on the other hand, is as solid as ever (particularly on I Still Hate). And his solo-playing during 10 Commandments and Just Because I'm White is also great!
