Some notes from the taper: 
These two shows at the Bowery on the Lower East Side of Manhattan recieved very little publicity, if any at all. If memory serves me right, these were the first shows where Lou was testing out the band that is essentially his current configuration. (The Kung fu guy was not a part of this group as of this time.) The setlists show that there were only a few songs different between the two nights, but at least to me, you could notice that each nights performance was slightly different. I enjoyed both nights and believe that to enjoy either night, you have to listen to the other nights performance. 

For those who don't know the Bowery Ballroom is a small place, roughly half of the size of your average high school gymnasium's basketball court, a stage is at the end, there is a small balcony with a few tables that runs around the three walls opposite the stage. I would say there were no more than 200-300 people in attedance for each of these shows. I made these recordings from the middle of the floor, dead to center. The soundboard was behind me, in the upper left corner of the balcony as you go up and over my left shoulder as I faced the stage.
