Note1: This is a stage recording.
Note2: The band's microphones are routed through the PA only, they didn't have their own stage speakers unlike the instruments, hence they sound very distant when speaking.
Note3: Jim was playing his "franken Strat" that has a humbucker pickup and Gibson-style on/off switch, which he kept hitting during the first few songs and turning the guitar off.
