If you like 'em uptempo, this is the show for you. I guess they were trying to get as many tunes as possible into their opening slot. Whatever it was, here we have a good set slist with no lollygagging. Every tune is uptempo, which is real important to me on tunes like Legal Gun and Tina's Grocery and The Friend Song, all of which in later years could get real draggy sometimes. The rarity here is Starla's On The Wall, a one-off about some ubiquitous graffiti that appered around town that year. A blistering run through of Scarred But Smarter seals the deal. They launch into a cover after Powerhouse that is clipped by tape runout. I feel like i should know what it is, but I don't.
