TB:

Now that goes against what I've read about the tour. According to Pete, he
trashed the tapes and then the band played a "greatest hits" tour from that
point on. I know they played at least part of QUAD with the tapes at Largo
and Philly, but I'm sure they were early dates in the tour.
Anyone here see them later in the tour, and therefore can answer this question?
