Tapers Note:  At the very beginning of the show some idiot decided it was cool to bounce up and down.  He also found it fun to bump into me.  This unplugged my mic for a few seconds.  (I punched him)  The bass was really heavy in this show, and my poor little mic couldn't handle the low stuff.  But the show is still audible, so I'm releasing it.  Its not the best quality, but its tolerable.  Also at the end of the show, I was running out of tape and didn't know how long they'd be going.  So i switched tapes right after Superman, however they only had one more song after that before the encore break.  Bad time to switch a tape, but I didn't miss anything except for a few croud cheers.  The Lips managed not to speak or talk for the 15 senconds it took me to eject one and insert another.  You can hardly notice the split.  Hope you enjoy the show as much as the people were there.
