This is  the very first known Fishbone live recording. The sound is not very good, but given its historic value, with some early versions of songs that would only be released two or three years later, it's very enjoyable.

Original notes by TheAntipop:  This is a cool early Fishbone show, with the band opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  Sound fluctuates from VG+ to EX-.  Vocals are very distant (in fact, at times inaudible) for most of the show.  By track 10, the sound improves a lot, with the vocals becoming more audible. The drums sound great, and the guitar and horns can also be heard clearly throughout the show.  

There is a burst of digital static at 2:46 into track 5, and a few seconds of digital clicking at the beginning of track 8.  Both of these anomalies were present on the original CDR I ripped from.  They don't last long, and shouldn't detract from your enjoyment of the show.
