Quality on this one is a bit dodgy -- literally, as it goes in and out of muffled portions to other parts where the sound clears up. Radio reception also not the cleanest. "Revenge" is cut, and if there's a second cassette for the remainder of the set, it didn't make it beyond any initial tape trades. "Seven Ways" fades out before its segue into "Radio Ethiopia." 

Opening band was the Zobo Funn Band, which featured a young David Torn. Uncertain whether that set was broadcast, but as this was a radio broadcast, there are other extant versions out there from other folks who recorded off-air. Should you have access to the complete show or a cleaner copy, please share. Strictly for sound quality this one would run a conservative B-/B on a letter grading scale, or perhaps a 5.5 on a numerical 1-10 scale.
