Although presented on an OAM that is very good clarity wise, this tape suffers from a ton of terrible issues that make the show nearly unlistenable - tons of unbearable pops and scratches, songs randomly cutting out, you name it. As for the performance itself, Pete is in pretty great shape, especially for 1975 standards. This is definitely one of his most consistent shows of the year, and though the band aren't quite hitting peak levels, you can still find some wonderful instrumental moments scattered all over too.
