Also Mary Jane Eisenberg (sp?) gets a credit for "Shake Boquet" on "Tropical..." and "The Mummy" on "When I See Mommy..."

The liberated bootleg "Live at my father's place" has 3 tracks missing (looks like that's "Moonlight...", "Bat Chain Puller", "Apes-Ma").

This show also circulates as 10/11/78 and 12/11/78, but the band didn't tour in those periods - see http://www.freewebs.com/teejo/gigs7881/gigs7881.html

Notes: Official (out of print) "Rhino Handmade" release of the full show. This was originally released as a 2 lp bootleg set years ago and was taken from a radio broadcast from WLIW on Long Island, NY (The WLIW DJ introduction was present on the lp but has been cut from the cd). It was then released as a boot on cd but missing 4 songs (Bat Chain Puller, Apes-Ma, Moonlight On Vermont and Veteran's Day Poppy). This is the full show. In order to fit the full show (approximately 85 minutes) Rhino released the set with one full disc and one disc containing the 10 minute 2-song encore). Setlist: (disc 1) Tropical Hot Dog Night; Nowadays A Woman's gotta Hit A Man; Owed T'Alex; Dropout Boogie; Harry Irene; Abba Zaba; Her Eyes ARe A Blue Million Miles; Old Fart At Play; Well; Ice Rose; Moonlight On Vermont; The Floppy Boot Stomp; You Know You're A Man; Bat Chain Puller; When I See Mommy I Feel Like A Mummuy; Veteran's Day Poppy; (disc 2) Safe As Milk; Suction Prints
