OU: This is the Late Show from the second night (two nights in a row, two shows each night). The recording is a bit "hot", but the sound is still pretty excellent. I hadn't listened to this tape for many years because my copy ran very, very fast. I am happy to share this speed corrected version, as this is a great show. The band is raging and Don is also really "on" here. The vocals are awesome. Don is intense in his delivery, getting more into it as the show progresses. The vocal fade out at the end of 'Doctor Dark' here is incredible. The room is silent and Don really kills it ! Following that amazing, fading finish quickly Don starts 'Bat Chain Puller' with a roar. Very cool. The band intros follow Bat Chain Puller.
After 'Sheriff Of Hong Kong' Don wishes everybody a Merry Christmas and even shouts a "Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho"! This is another show in which Don is very chatty and quite funny.
Interesting start here, Eric plays the Hair Pie Bass solo all the way through and then he starts it up again as Don joins in on Sax. They finish that and eventually Don plays a tape recording of himself through the mic. After that they play Hair Pie again ( bass and sax only ) !
Last year the Late Show from the first night was shared out here. Let's hope the Early shows do the same.
Aside from the occasional out of tune guitar, this is one of the better performances by the 80/81 band! A very enjoyable listen. Have fun. Much thanks to the taper and all of my old trading friends. March 06, 2011.

This looks great! And wow, you have to love the artwork - sooo cool ~
Many thanks for more from the Captain. This was such a good period for him. But really, except for the tour with the Tragic Band, he almost never did a weak show.
