Apparently there is at least one other source of this show, more complete by filling in a few songs.  Seems there might be two other sources.  Now usually I despise incomplete shows.  Hate 'em.  But mayhaps my stance on them is changing a little cuz I'm not really minding listening to this.  The King Biscuit Flower Hour showed up at this show and recorded it for posterity . . . not like there's a lack of EC soundboards from the 80's but anyway, they featured this show on their program but had to cut out some songs and cram in a few commercials for the hour long time slot.  I loved these when I was younger and listened to the radio before I ever knew about owning a bootleg concert recording in its entirety.  But even though the K.B.F.H. mixes in a little bit of unnecessary audience noise, I'm still diggin' this one.  9.8 out of 10.

Right from the start this is a little frustrating to listen to.  Sir Eric begins with acoustic songs that are on the quieter side and he plays while people talk away.  During each quiet song they talk talk talk away.  So annoying.  It's not terrible, it's not louder than the music, but it's there and personally I don't like it.  The recording musically is very nice, though!  Vocals and guitar are excellent.  Louder songs really shine (because you can't hear people talking!)  If it wasn't for the conversation this would get a higher grade.  Other issues: one small tracking problem before Hoochie Coochie Man but essentially no music is missing.  Other than that there's nothing major to speak of.  Another excellent audience recording.  9.4 out of 10 for a solid A.
