A really terrific recording from a place called the Kenmore Club or Celebration.  The name and venue are somewhat confusing.  The building was at 530 Commonwealth Avenue, and upstairs was a club called, at various times, Narcissus, Lucifer, Lipstick and who knows what else.  Downstairs was the Kenmore Club or Celebration.  Or maybe it was all one place depending on who was playing and what genre was hot that year.  The tickets were more like raffle tickets printed with the word "Celebration" than anything specific by band or date.  Boston University took over the building around 1993 and it's now a 7-11 / Dunkin Donuts.

Dan also made a DAT, which did not sound as good as the cassettes, that provided patch material for tape flips and also timing to keep the cassette recording on-pitch.

Enjoy!

Another great show at the Arrowhead!

This is a hot show. Dark star starts in progress, but I don't
think there can be much before that that I missed, as the set
is 1:54 long.

The second set is a jam fest that runs almost
a full 2 hours (I was probably sweating when I taped this).
Any set with "One More Time", "Into Tomorrow" and "Spin Song"
has a lot of jamming potiential. There is also a 25 min +
"Twilight->Other One->Twilight" and a Lovelight Rap. The midi sax
(if that's what it is) really takes "Tabla Rasa" and "That's
What Love Will Do" to new jazzy places. An then there's "I Smoked
Two Joints", a hilarious pot anthem!
