The first track here is a bit bumpy to start, once the sound settles in, it is quite good! Almost excellent, all things considered. The set here is a bit short, but very enjoyable. 
The band and crowd are having a great time here. At the start of the show Snakefinger mentions the gig being a "secret". I wonder if this performance was booked in advance for the Tour, or if the band took a little side-trip ? Either way, I am glad it happened and it was taped. There is a tape-flip after "Kill The Great Raven", no music or talking is missing. Great ! The Band Introductions were spoken over a 'vamp' that flows into "Beatnik Party", so I left that as one track. A very nice early version of "I Love You Too Much To Respect You", Snakefinger says that it was written "a couple of weeks ago" and also dedicates it to the Toronto crowd. What else needs to be said, it's SNAKEFINGER ! 
Enjoy the show.

much thanks to all of my old trading friends.
