The first week of Lou's 1975 World Tour was marred by cancellations and riots.
The first show was cancelled due to a municipal workers strike, the third show of the tour found Lou fleeing the stage after two songs due to tear gas being released as a group of Fascists and Communists battled with riot police.

This the scheduled second show opens the tour with Lou running through a set of mostly older songs. The performance is very good and the set has a nice flow to it.

Quality is average and fairly typical for a mid 1970's recording in a venue this size. I have done a lot of work on it and I'm pleased with mastering results considering where it started.
It ran slightly slow and has been pitch adjusted, as well as de-clicked and channel aligned. There were numerous gaps throughout the recording and the taper stops the recording at times. All gaps have been removed, merged and smoothed, a number of which are now seamless and a number of which are not.
I've seamlessly removed a number of close audience noises and it has been fully mastered mainly focused on taming the heavy bass that created a bit of low end distortion.

I'm not sure if other versions include the closing venue announcements but they are intact here as well as about 2 minutes of "leaving the venue" mostly low level talking which I chose to leave in.

This historical show comes from my old trading partner of 35 years.
