Comments

From the KSAN broadcasts of the early and late shows at the Old Waldorf Theatre, San Francisco, CA, 1977-11-15.

(The cover incorrectly gives the year as 1978.)

Hand In Hand is possibly from a different show. (It is not included in what purports to be the complete tape of the 1977-11-15 late show.)

Quality

The sound is extremely flat & muffled. For the most part, the guitar seems conspiciously absent, which contributes a certain hollowness to the songs.

However, the set list is good and the band is in good form. Sound: 5, performance: 7. It’s not in the same league as Live At The El Mocambo or No Dancing. – T.J. Young

Performance: 8/10. Sound: 8/10. – John Steffes
