Recorded by The Los Angeles tape eXchange (LAX), a group of friends that had the same desire to capture live concerts on tape.
John Musgrave was the engineer, Mark Bunton (the B-Man) held the left microphone and Mike Martin (The Flying -M-) held the right one.
Thanks to Sue for sneaking the tape deck past security again and again, without her these recordings might not have been possible.
