Transfer: Francisco Silva (Brasil), of JAJ's (roryglzep) tape. Thank You!!

Francisco's source & comments:
source: fair audience recording, distant & distorted, with too much reverberation on low frequencies. There are also many disturbances on the well-battered tape. NOT an enjoyable recording, actually a painful listening. This is for those collector that want everything.
comment: another superb performance, unfortunately ruined by a bad recording.

Setlist:

1. intro
2. good love
3. bad luck situation
4. bony moronie [many disturbances on tape]
5. stone county
6. rollin' cross the country [very rare]
7. be careful with a fool [with different arrangement]
8. silver train
9. slide jam
10. silver train [conclusion]
11. highway 61
12. [cut in] jumpin' jack flash
13. johnny b. goode
14. it's all over now [fades out before 2 minutes mark - seems the taper continued recording while was leaving the venue]

Most likely the Bayfront center venue.
The Bayfront center was torn down a few years ago. The Mahaffey theater is on the property now. I went to see
Joe Cocker and Ratdog at this theater. The acoustics are quite good. Not that well known though. King Crimson played there. Well enough off topic ranting. Johnny is great and he has played at Bluesfest and the State theater in St. Pete - Recent history wise.
