Notes:
-sound improves with Orange Crush and maintains for the rest of recording
-before Welcome To The Occupaion, MS, compares South Americans to the Aborigines
_Wolves, Lowerintroduced as 'A song from the old times'
-tape is screwed up during Feeling Gravity's Pull
Dropout after Superman
-after Summertime,MS: 'The last song was by George Gershwin.  You know that?  You know Americans don't know that .  He's American, it's kind of weird.  I used to do Rhapsody in Blue, but it's 22 minutes long.  It's kind of hard to stand through.  
-Takes MS a couple of tries to get Afterhours going. After a couple of false starts, MS: 'That's too high.  Go to G.'
