("Tape claims to be from the early show, but may be misdated)
(Note: A very different arrangement of "Sister Ray", slowed down to walking pace and with many lyrical embellishments and additions in the same style as "Take No Prisoners". Unfortunately the audience recording is poor and Lou's words are not always distinct (are they ever?). "Louie Louie" is short, frantic and slurred. A mixer tape of this would be a real treat!" - GORDON LYON)
