15 April 1989
George I. Lewis Auditorium
Cumberland County Civic Center,
Portland, ME
support: Drivin' N' Cryin'

Have two versions of this.  One is cassm>cass1(2x TDK SA 90s)(Thomas Lambert)>(playback on Nakamichi CR-4E)>2448>2CDR1.  It lives on HD.  Quality varies throoughout, mic rustle present between most songs.  Grade: D.  Better than that at times but I'll go with lowest common denominator on this.

The other is a tape I dubbed while staying with Brett Lowman in 2004.  It doesn't have any source info but it sounds notably better.  I believe it is from a different source.  There is some chatter after Exhuming McCarthy on this version that is not present on the Thomas Lambert version.
