Performed shortly after the release of "You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic", the band had been playing together for "exactly 11 days." The band was Bruce Springsteen's backing band.
The beginning of the tape had some chatter from "Claire," the WLIR on-air DJ, but it was so unclear it was removed, until she introduces Dennis McNamara, who introduces the band.
The vocals are hard to make out, possibly because they are in the same frequency range as the guitar, which was very loud. The whole band around 1-2kHz is saturated and squashed and very loud. I use the L3 Multimaximizer to prevent it from being made any louder during mastering. It takes a little edge off the guitars and makes the recording less headachy.
