Grade: D+
average sound, but too many skips for a 'C'
Notes:
A rare show that doesn't start with Pop Song 89, third of three consecutive.
many, many skips. Thankfully they let up (mostly) midway through disc 1
MS goes on a long-winded spiel covering the rise of the treleprompter, which he attrubutes Ronald Reagan's senility and poor use of language (although he doesn't name him, the insuation is rather obvious). Also talks about 'duck tape' briefly.
