Notes:
-After West Of The Fields MS notes their interlude music was Tibetan Monks chanting. "Along the same lines, everybody be real careful not to hurt the pews or mark up the walls or anything" before introducing Kohoutek as a song about "a girl went wrong".
-MS tells a brief story of Kensey kidnapping dogs for ransom before his namesake song.
-Before Paint It Black PB states that they don't know how to play the song but thay will try. MS chimes in that they've played it a hundred thousand times, to which PB replies "wait 'till you hear him sing it".
-Before In The Year 2525 there is some confusion how to start the song and while that is discussed, PB says "This is my party trick". MS asks for a round of applause after a moment, "the man can drink". I would whole-heartedly encourage the listener to chug a beer at this point in solidarity with Peter.
Always looking for upgrades in sound quality and completeness. Feel free to drop me a line if you've got some tapes you think ought to be heard.
