Sound quality varies greatly from section to section, and do not adjust your set, because the first 18 minutes of part 2 are left channel only. The music is similar to the live shows I've already posted, but it's heavy on the covers: "Dominique" by the Singing Nun (!) rears its head again, and there are no less than three Elvis songs. There's also a Grateful Dead tune (ugh) and one of the versions of "Hot Pink" morphs unexpectedly into "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles. Curt also shows a preference for some of the funnier and more chaotic moments, at one point declaring, "My name is Carol Burnett."
I have no idea where these shows were performed, but Boston is mentioned at one point.
It's just over 90 minutes, and the 130mb files are zipped up and ready for download here.

In the 70's I went to the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in L.A.to see Lily Tomlin's one-woman show.
I visited the ladies room right before the intermission and Carol Burnett entered the stall next to mine.
I passed her a sheet of toilet paper under the stall and asked for her autograph.
She whooped.
Here's an imperfect list...

I was 2 years old for this tour (and I was in France) ! :o)
A BIG thank you to the anonymous for the tracklisting, but a BIGGER thank you to peteykins !!!!
Thanks for these amazing snippets of audio ecstasy.
These would've been recorded on Black Flag's Spring 1984 'My War' tour. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing every one of these gigs of the band at their arguably creative peak. For me at any rate, this was the true essence of all things Puppets, and I truly appreciate the generosity shown by your sharing these.
