recorded as it happened on WBCN radio. it's an inspired show (I'm sure selling out 2 shows this night pleased them) Boston is an XTC appreciating town. the late show actually started after midnight so it was techically early AM of Jan 30, thus previously posted under that date, but it was scheduled for the night of the 29th. the reel has not been played alot and most of it still sounds pretty good, although there are a few parts where there are some tape problems, especially in real by reel. most of the rest sounds pretty clear.
