Here’s a cool bootleg. Warning to headphone users: this is LOUD, particularly Roger’s 12 string. Some interesting things about this concert are as follow: “Lover is the Bayou” is pretty weird. Clarence never takes a solo, he just plays chords as Roger plays variations of the riff over and over. I’ve never heard it done like that anywhere else. “Old Blue” starts out with authority and incredible energy, but Clarence’s guitar cable craps out midway through, causing it to buzz loudly in what sounds like someone farting violently into the microphone. He has to stop playing halfway through and replace the cable, killing the mojo of what started out as a kickass rendition. Another funny thing that happens is Roger forgetting the lyrics to "Chimes of Freedom" and literally just says random words that barely fit the meter.

Standout tracks are “Lover of the Bayou”, “You Ain’t Going Nowhere”, the first half of “Old Blue”, "You All Look Alike", "My Back Pages", “Chimes of Freedom”, and a rousing rendition of “Nashville West”.
