    This aud that richie talks about is all world. I have no idea the miks used (mabye nak 700s seemed popular at the time). Anyway these recordings destroy anything that was made during the '81 run..in other words this taper had cushy seats, mabye 15 rows back full sound coming from the speaker stacks and the stage as well as capturing a very peppy audience. First set seems to fizzle a little after Easy to Love..but the second set goes into the hall o fame (at least the pre-drums).

    I have this tape sans China->Rider. This show is not a Rocker but a Jammer.China->Rider is nice, nothing special. Looks like Rain has nice intro with thunder drums. He's Gone->Gloria Jam->C.C Rider->Jam is a must listen to. Brent may have been in his rookie year but does not play like a rookie. The NFA intro is sweet and lots of jamming Black Peter is right on. Sugar Mag and OMS are a nice revival to end the show. He's Gone, C.C.

    I had this show on a 90 minute tape for years, minus China Cat Sunflower. The sound quality of this download is excellent. How satisfying to finally have the second set of this show again and get it with such great sound. Bobby's guitar had a unique "steely" sound in '79 and Brent is learning the ropes well here. The ARCHIVE and all the contributors should be praised for their gifts to us. The show itself is a churning, bluesy barnburner and should not be missed! THANK YOU! One Happy Rider
