The end of April marks the 30th anniversary of this great springtime Texas concert held outdoors. This version is not sourced from a boot. It comes from a 1st gen tape transfer to dat. There are small cuts made by taper, tape flips, and several instances of tape wear here and there. This is the best quality, lowest gen I have seen of this gig. Since I do not have any boots of this show, I cannot comment on how this compares to any boots that might be out there. I have taken the liberty of naming this 30th Anniversary 1st gen version "Flight of Pigs (FOP)."

Built in 1942, Holgar Jeppeson Stadium was originally a Houston high school athletic facility. After renovation, it was renamed Corbin J. Robertson Stadium. The site now belongs to the University of Houston. The front and back cover art features the stadium.

The quality is a nice VG+, song samples provided so that you can judge for yourself. Enjoy les printemps and this rare Lone Star show. Have a fine weekend, folks.
