comments: 
this recording now includes the closing radio comments, along with the whole concert and opening radio comments before that. Roxy had last been to the Orpheum in Boston just about 3 years earlier (for another WBCN broadcast). this one was on the tour of their splendid 1979 album "manifesto" which had a few shows in the U.S. broadcasted. since this was recorded on one side of a reel, there is no tape flip interruption, and no commercial interruptions either. it's all an uninterrupted recording, maybe one of my most often played reels, but it's still a reel, and those rarely get played. A very nice show, to be enjoyed again and again.
