COMMENTS:
I'll just get this out of the way - this tape sounds pretty crap. However,
it's an absolute must-hear for anyone interested in the Punch Line era.
This show includes:

- the first known live recordings of Search, Static, Straight Jacket, Ain't
Talkin' 'bout Love, Clocks, and The Maze.
- the ONLY known live recordings of Song for El Salvador, Monuments (pre-2003),
Gravity, The Struggle, Ruins (pre-2003), Boiling, and Disguises.

I've had a different version of this for months but never posted it because
the spectrogram looked sketchy; I downloaded this a few days ago and it looks
clean. The files were running slow so I sped them up 6.1% in Audacity; I'm
not a Super Tuning God but I think it sounds a lot better. (also I have the
Black Flag, DOA, and Adolescents sets from this show as well if anyone wants
kthxbye)
