Additional Notes: Two of the tracks on this CD--Shin Kicker and Last of the Independents-are from the 1978 release Photo-Finish.

I have not been able to determine if they are from this show (experimenting new material) or from a different show (7/18/79 Montreux 10th year show?).

Either way, grab this, as it is a great performance of Rory and the band, tight and high-spirited.
