A great concert, with a staggering 31 songs. Some wonderful stuff
here, including Billy Sunday, which I love. The sound quality dips on
the louder songs, and the levels vary from song to song, but still a
great listen.

Comments: Assorted songs, either very rarely performed or very interesting performances. Better sound quality than the next two volumes (though the last 3 songs are noticeably worse than the rest of the tape). And yes, it really is Chelsea Hotel #1, in case you were thinking it was a typo. It's the original version taken, I think, from the original acetate (quite scratchy). It's fascinating to hear, and the lyrics are very different.
