Quality -

9-9.5/10 excellent to excellent minus audience recording.
This was taped 10 to 20 feet from the left speaker stack as you're
looking at the stage from the audience. The venue was outdoors.

CD 1 : 10 tracks, 47:00
CD 2 : 5 tracks, 50:41

TT: 97:41 This is the ENTIRE concert, except for a very short tape
flip and switch (20 seconds of music missing MAXIMUM).

A version of this concert was torrented back around October 2005 on either
STG (RIP!) or Dime, I don't remember. It was said to be a DAT recording
and sounded excellent to me, albeit IMHO a little heavy on the bass & drums.
Here is an alternate version taped on an Aiwa analog machine (which made
excellent recordings, may it rest in peace) 10 to 20 feet away from the left
stage speaker stack. It is a bit more "trebly" than the other one & doesn't
have a heavy bass & drums presence. Amazingly, there is no distortion for being
that close to the stage and the show came out very clearly without being "tinny".
This is the raw master tape ; NOTHING has been done to it to alter the sound.
There is virtually NO hiss and the audience was supremely well-behaved with no
talking anywhere near the taper. Of course, the music was so loud that it
would've drowned out any talking anyway.

A brief word about the songs & Ted's performance :

Track 4, Live It Up, contains a tape flip @ 4:25. Music goes right into
applause followed by the end of the song. Due to the magic of file editing,
this flip is seamless. Less than 10 seconds of music is missing.

Track 8, Don't Tread On Me, DOES contain Shapes Of Things (Yardbirds). Since
the song ends with a segue back into DTOM, I thought that it would be more
logical to include SOT with DTOM, rather than track it by itself.

Track 13, Cat Scratch Fever, is missing less than 10 seconds of the beginning
of the song due to a tape switch. This is really no BFD, unless you are
fanatically completist.

ALL other songs are complete. There is no artwork ; be my guest...

As far as Uncle Ted's performance is concerned, it's what you would expect.
Superb guitar playing coupled with hilarious and idiotic stage comments.
Ted invites James Brown (the Godfather Of Soul) to kiss his ass. Ted calls
Bill Clinton a fucking idiot. Ted basically laughs at the untimely deaths
of Jimi Hendrix and Bon Scott (AC/DC). Ted swears that the key to a long
life is complete avoidance of alcohol and drugs, just like he's done. Yeah,
right. Whatever you say, Ted. Does the phrase "visit to the draft board"
ring any bells, Ted ? It's a high-energy show containing a lot of greatest
hits that's a lot of fun to listen to, both due to sound quality and content.
I torrented this version because I thought a lot of Ted fans might want
an alternate version of a great show. I think that both versions have their
own pros and cons. Personally, I think this one is a little more intense,
over-driven but undistorted and "in your face" than the DAT version.
Listen to this one and compare it to the DAT version. You be the judge.

Finally, the usual ; no buy, no sell, no mp3. Please seed as long
as you can & share freely. Sonically speaking, this is an excellent show
w/ well-defined vocals & instruments. Ted Nugent fans will not regret
downloading this show! I will post two samples to help you decide whether
or not to download this, but they're really unnecessary. So, just like Mr.
Natural says, enjoy the concert !!!
