Big thanks to the original taper, and to the trader (can't remember his name) who hooked me up with a copy.
This one came to me as 1 long piece on a CDR; I did the extract in 2001, and never finished the job / still had the WAV.
(It's good I did that then, as this guy's CDRs all extract like crap nowadays.)
Sometime last year I did the track breakdown; all these WAVs needed was to be fed into TLH to fix the SBEs.
And so this final master was done on 2009-11-07.

NOTES

I had 2 copies of this show:
* one mono, with the levels up high yet the top was lopped off, dated 1980-04-29
* another stereo but limited separation, low levels but real range, dated 1080-04-27
It's all really the same source tape / same claps and yells and music in the same places.
And of course the 1980-04-27 date is known from more sources than these.
I went with the stereo source here.

So like I said, it's stereo but kinda limited separation, and it's very very hissy.
And there's spots where the original tape source drops out here & there.
Imperfect, but don't let that stop ya, it's a fine performance.
Snakefinger joins the group for one song, good stuff.

The show at City Disco was said to be part of a release party for the Residents' Diskomo EP.

Crank it up and ENJOY! it as I have, and share it so others can hear it.

Filenames have numbers on the end that are the TIMES (ex. - "...-359" is 3min59sec long).
Filenames for guessed titles have "(QMEXQM)" in the name, as "?!?" isn't allowed in names.

I mark the start of tracks when the music or count-in begins, not the talking about it before it starts.
