mgoldey Notes:  
--This is an interesting recording.  
--From cassette, but very clear with almost no hiss, there is an odd assortment of gaps, all of which were razor sharp with no warble or other signs typical of a cassette flip, analog dropout or even a digital dropout.  
--The first two gaps were short, at about 7:30, during "Confidential" (so not tape flips), and these have been cross faded and are now difficult to notice.  
--The second is near the beginning of "Hard Core Love", at 47 minutes, so likely a tape flip, and too much was missing, so this one can't be missed.  
--The next was between "Nail Your Heart To Mine" & "Lucinda", and the last between "Coo Coo" & "Fever Dream."  Neither is timed right for a tape flip, but each was a substantial gap that cannot be camouflaged.  
--Whatever the story with the recording, it's a great show and a terrific recording, especially considering its age.  
--Enjoy!

vg NOTES (2026-02-22):
--Yeah You Right! to whomever originally recorded & shared out this the Radiators 1995 show & to mgoldey for the transfer & mastering work & sharing it out far & wide for us all to enjoy. Absolutely Appreciated!!  
--comment on the recording from the thread at LL:  (sunshinedavedream - 07/09/2025 13.33.00) - "I was at this show as I attended tons of Rads shows in LA from 1982-84.  It's one of the best they did during my tenure as a Fishhead from late 1981-85.  I had this on cassette back in the day and I *think* there was an issue with the lead cassette deck and this might be off a Nak 550 that was patched out.  I forget the guy's name (but he might even be a member here) who ran his Nak at most of the Rads shows i saw in NOLA, Baton Rouge and some other gigs on the outskirts of town.  
--the encore at this show started at 2:30am...nice!!  
--I added the band members info
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums...t01 ("Down In De Need") may actually be entitled "Down In the Need" (as it appears on some other Rads setlists), not entirely sure on that one
--added more detail to the setlist info & the venue info
--this venue opened as "Jimmy's Music Club" (aka "Jimmy's") in April of 1978 (April 1978-2014)...it closed when Hurricane Katrina devastated the city in August 2005...attempts to reopen the venue in December 2012 & also 2013 were thwarted by restrictive new zoning laws, but some fundraising shows were held there during this time...it became "The Willow" in 2014 (2014-August 2025) & was reborn as "Jimmy's Music Club" once again in August of 2025 (August 2025-present [2026])...it is also known as "Jimmy's Club"
