That seems a real shame. I was looking forward to Hedy showing up and maybe some other unseen stuff.

And the photo of the band from the show does look like they're set up to play live, with mics on the amps and everything plugged i...

Thanks, that probably makes the tape a bit less interesting then!

Do you happen to have access to a reel to reel tape machine?
