Extra info:

Thanks a lot to Giorgio (r.i.p.) who made this recording possible. I'm just sharing it on Dime.

I discovered the exact name of the venue inside the "Materiali Sonori" book focusing on John Zorn because one of the interviews to him is placed right before this Naked City gig.

It's weird to see few tunes belonging to the Naked City album "Radio" already performed in 1991. Please help identifying the unknown surf-like tune that opens disc 2.
