Decent SBD source for this show with a healthy amount of bass in the mix.

The tape kicks off with the soundcheck. Shaggy Dog is playful, complete with some alligator/crocodile silliness, before cutting about a minute in. It picks back up with what sounds like a Shaggy Dog jam. Page asks Fish to drop into the Cavern drumbeat, which launches the band into a fun little blues jam.

Golgi, which had closed out four of the last shows, flips the script tonight by opening the set. Melt gets a nice jam, Fluffhead is spot on, and after a tape flip Llama comes in blazing. Gin holds strong, Ice has a cool middle section, and Possum closes the first frame in fairly straightforward but spirited fashion.

Set two kicks off with a standard but always infectious Tweezer. Foam is a highlight with an inspired ending, followed by a sharp Mike’s that finds Cactus teasing Rapper’s Delight. Groove absolutely rips! “Make!!” There’s a tape flip after Fee. The opening of Sloth is clipped and the sound quality dips for a bit, with another splice after Coil, but luckily no music is lost. I Didn’t Know is especially fun, and the playfulness carries into MSO with a little Barracuda tease. About a minute into MSO the sound clears back up. Tweezer Reprise caps a lively set. Before the encore, Mike says something during Glide that sounds like “ten,” though it’s hard to tell. Cavern follows and closes the night on a high note.

Side note: this second set was one of my very first cassette boots back in the day. Always a trip revisiting sets I haven’t spun in 30+ years. lol
