"Night Spots" had not yet been recorded since it was on Candy-O and that was released in 1979. The debut album had just been out about a month at the time of this recording. "When You Gonna Lay Me Down", "Take What You Want" and "Hotel Queenie" went unreleased. This recording comes from a discrete quad source mixed down to stereo for this upload (?) as explained in the uploaders notes. It is definitely a nice sounding show and one of the earliest Cars bootlegs that I have. I hope you enjoy it.

    1. It was a new one for me too, it actually surfaced on The Trader's Den in 2020. Not sure how I missed it because I only downloaded it a few weeks ago. Glad you are enjoying it!
