Taper: Ed Davis
Notes: Nice sound on this as the taper was in a good location, but an extremely “animated” crowd which took a ton of editing to reduce. I think it makes for a much more enjoyable listen, but it’s still far from perfect.
This is a previously uncirculated source, so thanks to Ed for making the trip from LA and taping. He says it was an amazing show and his only regret was not buying a ticket for night 2.
