Total Time ::: 1:23:45 

::: EXC stereo FM. 
::: Warts: Volume levels a bit erratic in #1. #10 has tapeflip splice in middle. Fixed a number of small pops, dullspots & dropouts, but surely missed a few. Last minute of #12 dropped in volume, so is a bit hissy where it was raised. 
::: The other 2 acts on the bill were the Dazz Band & Whitesnake. 
::: The audience is not happy about the billing. Non-stop background chanting for Whitesnake going on between songs.
