Great show, though kinda lousy sound quality. This is due to the fact that the original tape was rapidly deteriorating and according to Drew's original notes, the tape had to be put in new shell prior to transfer. Yes, this seed has noise reduction (applied via SF 4.5), but it's also the only known transfer, so we may never get a better version than this. Remember: this is relatively very newly surfaced. Sound quality is not that terrible, actually. The first part (until the cut on A Little Mozart) is the thoughest one: the instruments are understandable, but spoken parts and vocals are so low and muffled that it's almost impossible to understand them. After the cut it gets a little bit louder and clearer (even though the vocals are still muffled). I think it's musically one of the most interesting shows. The improvisations are inspired and so are the solos. They also have a bit of fun with the audience and play "Bacon Fat" twice (by request). Look out for the moment in which they play a delightful chaos by playing 7 songs at the same time, before quickly giving up and playing an outstanding version of "Trouble Every Day" (check out the ending part of the song... luckly this is among the clearests parts of the tape!). Also, it may not be relevant, but as I told Unicrayon today, "Cruising For Burgers" is a song that always makes me feel happy and life-loving.
