==Overview== Only one reel-to-reel tape machine was available to record the concert, resulting in gaps in some songs as the tape needed to be changed. However, these gaps have been filled in with bootleg recordings from the same tour. As a result, there is a drop in sound quality during these sections, but the concert is preserved almost in its entirety. Yet, two songs are missing: "Honey, Don't You Want a Man Like Me?" (played between "Advance Romance" and "The Illinois Enema Bandit") and "Tryin' to Grow a Chin" (played between "Wind Up Workin' in a Gas Station" and "The Torture Never Stops").
