Two hours of steady jams and grooves, with just the first few seconds of the show's beginning missing.  The taper needed about 2 minutes to get the levels set and then everything is fine.  As is common with the Sonics, there was more bass and less treble than ideal.  A little EQ helps.

Between Do You Wanna Dance and Iko Iko appears a curious snippet of music and lyrics that GP Jr. says is a "bastardized Bo Diddley groove that Art Neville just made up words to."

Enjoy!
