Notes:
Track 4, Gossip, is a very rare Meters tune, only available on compilation albums.

Show started at 2:30am on the morning of May 1st.

For the first three minutes the sound guy is really playing with the levels. Actually I am also during that time, so bear with it, by 3:45 the levels are set.

For some reason there are a few static sounds in some places, present on the original recording. Fortunately, it's not too often or too loud, but it is noticeable. Probably due to a loose cable. It is most prevalent during the middle of track 5.
