10. Gardening At Night (fades out)


Timeline notes: Set 1 is incomplete, as the person who taped the show got there late. For those with a copy of the show, 'Gardening At Night' is cut off due to the taper accidentally recording over the end of R.E.M.'s set with another artist, hence set 2 being incomplete as well. It's fairly safe to assume '9-9' and 'Windout' would have followed, with 'Radio Free Europe' or 'Ska' likely to end the set.

Notes:
-one channel drops out briefly t7

Grade: B
