Some notes about this show (not mine - This may be the remastered
version):

Quality on this one is C. It has a constant hiss due to the machine 
it was recorded on, which may have been a reel to reel. However 
the musical performance of ZZ is fairly clear and easy to enjoy. 
It gives a really great insight as to what ZZ sounded like way back 
then. Someone should remaster this one and remove the hiss. Billy 
talks to the crowd a good bit and he goes into more detail about the 
song Precious and Grace and why it was written. Billy also goes into 
detail about who Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers was written about, which 
also just so happens to be about two women in Texas. Billy says that 
they used to party together and one went on to become a model for 
Vogue magazine and the other a photographer who photographed women. 


*** REMASTERED Version ***

This is the same concert as above yet this has been remastered. 
It is now split into tracks as opposed to being one long track. The 
hiss has been removed and it's now at least B- or B quality.
