This tape shows it's age in spots but is a very good listen. I personally can't get enough live performances of "Loan Me A Dime" and this is a fine one. I have had this one in such heavy rotation on my MP3 player that the guy who car pools with me has started commenting about it. I think I'll give him a break for a while.
