For a long time, this was the earliest Low show in circulation. I don't know what the venue is, though I'd say the odds are decent that it's the Iron Horse: can anyone confirm?

The taper did an excellent job, and the sound is very clear and well-balanced. Audience is a bit noisy, unfortunately -- not horribly so, but it's a little distracting at times. You'll want to check out the early performance of "Violence", dedicated to Tom Windish, which has one or two very subtle differences vs. the version on "Long Division". It's also nice to hear a (relatively) rare "Sunshine". And get a load of the condescending announcer at the end!

Big thanks to Supahstah for sharing this tape with me back in the day.
