Shayne's comments: "The old Panasonic non-professional recorder could not handle extreme volume so this recording is poor."
What can I say, it's shocking to stumble upon an unsurfaced show from 1985 in 2025. The quality of this one is ok. For a 40 year old gig for sure. The only downside of it is the vocals are kind of muffled behind the music. Dave talks a lot but sadly I could not make out what he was yelling about. According to setlist.fm the tape lacks the encore with Mechanix & Rattlehead.
The show originally was shared on youtube, I ripped audio, boosted sound in Audition, cut into tracks etc. So if you a lossless perfectionist this maybe regarded as lossy. I just don't care. Enormous gratitude to Shayne for sharing this and other gems at his channel.
