"Beetle Clasher" (Tarantura)

Lineage: Original silvers => Unknown CDR generations => CDR => EAC => FLAC

Got this one in trade a few months ago; a near-perfect soundboard from the RAH in
1989. I don't know any more about the lineage than what's above; sorry. Both
sound and performance are excellent. I believe that the Beatle reference in the
title is due to the fact that George Harrison was in attendance (although I don't
think he played) that night.

Note: The Tarantura release spread this show across three discs -- no doubt to increase the amount they could charge. Discs 2 and 3 are together on Disc 2 of this set. I checked against the times on the legit release, and none of the music is cut. What *is* cut, however, is the opening minute or so of pre-recorded music (prior to Eric coming onstage) that comprises the first track. This canned music is present again as the last track of disc 2. In short, all of the actual show is present here.
