The MC’s introduction and the first two songs can be found on boot CD 'Down The Road Apiece' (Golden Stars). The remainder of the audio has never appeared on any mainstream boot but is circulating via private CDR sources, usually with no time/venue identification. Typically the final two or three tracks of this 35 minutes of audio are found combined with audio from an unrelated performance (see December 3 listing). "Mary Louise Watson" is also known by the title "Black Widow Spider". "Walking The Dog" is complete but it usually circulates incomplete. Only the first three minutes of "When You Dance" are in circulation. Unfortunately it sounds as if the taper placed his microphone in the middle of a table of student drinkers, so the band’s performance is obscured by close proximity crowd noise and chatting. However the conversation does confirm the venue as being The Ledge. Although it seems likely that more of this performance would have been recorded by this source, only the 35 minutes of audio has surfaced to date. Collectors should note that the remaining 54 minutes of audio found on the 'Down The Road Apiece' CD is from an outdoor gig at Brookdale Community College on July 10, not from this Rutgers show as that CD’s liner notes claim. bosstrade@gmail.com
