More '83 silliness, including a rendition of Merle Haggard's Okie From Muscogee. On a more sombre note, there's a relatively rare outing for Night Comes In, and although the versions with Linda are infinitely superior it's good to hear it revived.

Fair to good sound quality on this one - it sounds like it might be an FM broadcast of some sort, although it's a little more muffled/bassy than many of the better radio-sourced shows. All in all, a fun listen although not as essential as the Ann Arbor gig.

I've got a setlist for this show that also includes Can't Sit Down - if it was played, that track appears to be omitted here.
