This show was my first bootleg. Two Maxell tapes of good quality - the quality on the first three songs was shakey but then the sound suddenly kicked in. Much nicer here - clean all the way through. The Segue from Bertha into Good Lovin' is phenomenal, a transition they have done dozens of times but it just explodes here.

I didn't know it at the time, until later before Brent's first show that this was their last as I hand held my microphones over my head Donna was clearly checking me out as I recorded while she was singing "From the Heart of Me",(not her best performance; kind of sad in retrospect), but like others, since a board came out I recorded over it.

They were tired of the band's direction. They got what they wanted in 76, a more mellower sound. Then after the louder and raunchier sound of 77-78 they wanted to go back mellow. They lost this battle and they parted ways. It was not a planned thing with the band. They dropped the bomb after this show because they knew there was a break in schedule until April so they picked this time to go and give them time to find someone.
