Notes (by sunboy, with orig.seed):
~ A curtain was up and they used only the front half of venue ~
~ *I thought I recall the taper using shotgun mics ~
~ cassette flips @ begin of Hotplate Heaven and after Sofa ~
~ I received this 1st gen. cassette from the original taper whom I met at the show, I know for sure his first name was Terry and unfortunately I can't recall his last name. I do know he passed on in the early 90's after an unfortunate motorcycle accident and was from the Rochester area. I'm assuming because of that that this source was previously uncirculated ~

Credits:
Thanks to Terry for taping this show

Excellent sounding 1988 show. Enjoy !!
