A hot time on a cold night in New York City.  The early show, if it was taped, is missing.

The tape flip in the drums at the end of Goin' Down To Mardi Gras has been crossfaded away.  A pause before Hey Pocky Way was also eliminated.

Enjoy!

Notes:

- Before this came to Gary somone had been at work with a maximiser and pumped it up too much. I have reduced that and hopefully restored some of the subtelty that went missing.
- Background hum removed.
- A number of small dropouts repaired.
- "Africa" is cut but there is no obvious reason why, same applies to "Cissy Strut"
- There is a tape flip just after "Just Kissed My Baby" tape ends with some drums and side two picks up with more drums, the drums have been crossfaded and it's not known how much is missing. There is then another gap and a small section of drumming which has been crossfaded on so that it runs a little smoother.
- It's not known whether any other songs were played after "Love The One Your With"


Thanks to Gary Cameron for this source.

* manager is heard on tape apporoaching the taper and shutting him down during the 1st song...

I made a best attempt at tracking this show out, but I know I missed some cuts.
Any setlist info is much appreciated.
