Recording comments
Nice sounding recording this. Quite unusual since it starts with Back In NYC. Also includes Say It's Alright Joe

Vocal performance by Phil on this show and this part of the tour is VERY different than from later on the tour, such as Lyceum May 7. Remember, Phil hasn't really sung in over two years at this time, so it's almost like a shootback to the Wind & Wuthering tour in terms of his vocals, which I actually prefer! Later in the tour, however, his vocals permanently transformed into what is heard on Three Sides Live and later. [bryantm3]

Phil's vocals are different, alright----way better than usual!! He sings "Back In NYC" almost as good as Gabriel! Maybe it was the club atmosphere that made his singing sound so gritty, since this was just a warm-up gig at a small club that they hadn't played since 1972(Or so Phil says during the show). [Bangsmith]

A bit shakey during Back in NYC and FYFM. Other than that, very good concert. Phil's vocals are strong and his drumming is even better. The crowd is really into it, and it must have been one hell of a concert to see. A solid "A" for me. Not as much an "A-" but a really low "A" [legalbeagle]

just went back and listened to this one again. i can't get over how different this concert is from the rest of the tour. one of my favourite moments is when phil and mike (at least i think it's mike), do a duet style vocal more similar to what is on the album on 'duchess'. it's moving. however, the recording quality is horrendous. calling it an A- is being optimistic, it's a B+ at best, especially when the only thing audible in many moments in 'duke's travels' is mike's bass pedals. this version is also sped up, around 4-5%. it would be great to see what someone could do to the recording today, but sadly i think this might be as good as it gets unless we get another source. [bryantm3]

Horrendous? Hardly. Listen to 6/6/80 and that'll show you what horrendous really is. This thing is a gem compared to that. One of my favorites; relatively clear and a great crowd. The energy is awesome. This must be in everybody's collection; period! This was an historic gig for them with a special moment included. Don't hesitate. [duke23]
