Notes:
-Taper adjusting setup during These days, mic noise, dropouts, level changes.  Mostly stabilizes during Moral Kiosk, but there is some additional jostling of the mics tracks D1T01-D1T05.
-Before Driver 8, MS encourages everyone to be nice to security, welcomes The Feelies to the tour and wishes happy birthday, "to anyone who's birthday might be today.  There's a" at this point the entire band launches into Driver 8, cutting off MS mid-sentance.  After the song, "Turn off the stage lights for a minute Chaz.  Everybody look up. This is what it looks like to be inside of an Easter Egg.  That was deeply philosophical, you can take it home with you and ponder it as long as you wish.  (over intro to Rockville) This is our favorite standby song".
-In reference to the Easte Egg coment, the Buffalo Theater is on par with the Saenger in New Orleans for beauty.
-Taper seems to have paused recording between songs, restarting if MS starts talking.
-Letter Never Sent gets a rare outing, by my count, one of three in 1986.
-Sound quality & volume go both increase for Swan Swan H, volume drops off again for Superman.
-Runs slow

Grade: D
-C sound but too much mic noise, dropouts.
