Comment

This show was performed in a lecture hall or small theater at the C.W. Post Campus, because "The Dome" had recently
collapsed in a snowstorm. It was not held in the Tilles Center (which probably didn't exist then).

According to Peter Hedeman, who recorded the show for WLIR, the band arrived late due to snow, and ran into the building, following the microphone snake. They followed it the wrong way and burst into the area where the WLIR truck was located. "It was pretty funny, the shocked look on their faces." At the end of track 4, EC apologizes for being late, and explains that the door fell off their bus, so they arrived by car and had no time to do a soundcheck.

The encore is dedicated to the band's driver, the "Miracle Man."

Notes: 12 43:18. The first bands I was into in 77/78 was Joe Jackson, The B-52's, EC, Talking Heads and early Blondie. They were like the launching pad for me into more intense punk.
