so great, the big problem is the extreme lack of bass in the mix. Does 
anyone who went to this show remember if the bass was low during the 
show? I know people have complained about the lack of bass at other 
shows. I was present at 2 MSG shows, Nassau Collisium, and The 
Continental Arena and I don't remember the bass sounding this low. 
Besides the bass problem it's a decent boot.>


The Albany show (11/18) may have been the best of the east coast dates. 
Entwistle wan't any lower in the mix than any other night on that tour, 
nor MSG in July.  The problem probably stems from the camera itself, 
most likely a mono camera that gives a tinny sound.  I have this tape, 
too, and it is pretty tinny.

but I remember hearing a lot about the show. Has anyone seen a video 
from this show? If you have was it any good?>

He's probably talking about San Jose, the video for which has recently 
surfaced.  That wasn't the irst show though.  The played Portland, 
Tacoma, and two nights in Vancouver before hitting San Jose.
