Taper Notes:

View NotesOne of the first Low live tapes to widely circulate, and still one of the best.  Near-perfect soundboard recording by Texas taper M. W., containing the only live recording I've ever seen of "Laugh", plus what is probably the first-ever performance of an unfinished "No Need".  The crowd's a little noisy, but the fact that it's a soundboard recording cuts most of that out.  Nice performance, with some funny sarcastic comments from the band.  Highly recommended to all.

Many copies of this were taken from a transfer I did in the late '90s which was split onto 2 CDs, but this is taken from a fresh transfer done in May 2008.  Levels are perfect (peak at 0 dB), and the only things I've done were to put a slight fade-in at the start, and to reduce a stray electrical pop in "No Need".  Otherwise, it's exactly as I got it (with the sample rate conversion, that is).

You may be able to fit this on a single CD with overburn, or if you need to trim things down, there's about a minute of applause and dead air at the end of "Mom Says" that could be trimmed.
