1978 Setlist Part Three



1978 Setlist - Part Three

Promoting MSABAF, TH embarks on a marathon tour, with many double-show nights (early & late shows), and several well-known FM radio broadcasts.

This is the best live version of the band to go out on the road, lean and playing ferociously. Luckily, the whole thing peaks on December 18 in Cleveland where Warner Bros captured the beautifully performed & mixed "Music Show LP" recording...
