Misssing tracks from this recording:

Leaving It Up To You, Gun, Pablo Picasso, Heartbreak Hotel, I'm Waiting For The Man.

Unfortunately, this show was overdubbed on a previously recorded tape...so tape hiss is evident. Also, I believe the taper was trying to conserve space on his C90 cassette, and paused the recording between songs during the Cale set; most of the songs cut in. This recording runs about 30 minutes; whether it is the complete set, I can't say. I have inquired of several Cale collectors but have not found a more complete (or any other) recording of Cale this date. If anyone has a more complete or better-sounding recording, do share.
