This is an early gig I was lent a tape of to share...it sounds a lot better than Peter Buck's recollection!:)

From http://members.iinet.net.au/~darryl74/1980.html ...

"Described by Peter as one of the most pitiful moments in the band's career - "There were six people there. Maybe eight. The guy said he'd feed us, he gave us a box of Kentucky Fried Chicken that he'd sat under a drip in the ceiling so that it was covered in water; we lost $150 because we drank, and we didn't realise he was charging us for drinks; I got in a fight with a skinhead outside in the parking lot; and we got lost for four hours in Brooklyn before the show" - from It Crawled From The South, Marcus Gray (first edition, pg.43)"
