Thanks to Randy the Taper

I was going through my archives trying to convert the live stuff, at least, to CD, and happened across this. It was my next to last New Year's show with the boys and holds a special place in my heart. Don't know if it's circulated here, but I would rate this version as an A-, even without Robbie.

Known flaws: A few of the songs cut in abruptly. This is in the original. The taper was trying to conserve batteries and tape.


1. Rag Mama Rag (5:58)
2. Long Black Veil (Cut from FM broadcast & not on original set list from The Band Website) (5:40)
3. The Shape I'm In (4:02)
4. It Makes No Difference (6:41)
5. Milk Cow Boogie (3:24)
6. Mystery Train (5:45)
7. King Harvest (3:33)
8. Stage Fright (3:55)
9. WS Walcott Medicine Show (3:16) 
10. You Don't Know Me (2:28)
11. Caledonia (6:58)
12. Chestfever (6:07)
13. Java Blues (4:39)
14. Willie & Handjive (5:35)

Total Time: 68:07
