Notes
This is a soundboard performance, but has a slight hiss throughout.
This is probably an artifact of the analog recording it was transferred from.
Dave talks a lot through the show! One of his best comments, or rather a story,
is about a girl he met the previous night who took off her bra and panties and threw them onstage and
"that was all she was wearing at the time". He then goes on to say that he "woke up next to the girl the next day"
and she turned and said "DAVE" (Dave says this in a high pitched voice and Eddie mocks him with his guitar)
"What is it that you like about me so much?". Dave: "I looked down at her with her big red eyes and told her,
BABY, I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO FEEL YOUR LOVE TONIGHT!". Then they start playing FYLT. On the inside
cover of the artwork it says "Extra special thanks to the 'girl with the big red eyes' for helping us all to remember
Maryland." This is where it comes from...
In the beginning of "Take Your Whiskey Home", Eddie seems to be playing with his guitar with the main riff and
keeps going on until Dave finally stops his yapping and starts to abruptly sing.
"...And The Cradle Will Rock" fades in at the beginning.
"Ice Cream Man" is cut off at the VERY end.
Overall it's an excellant recording. All insturments are well balanced. Not too much bass in it like in most other
recordings. The whole band gives an energetic performance.
The artwork is very well done, looks VERY professional, printed on heavy glossy stock paper.
One of the best comments on the liner notes is: "Open the vaults, share the music."
