Notes:
It should be illegal to make people travel this far for their 'local' show! This 'shed' in the middle of nowhere served as the location for the Who's Chicago area shows on the '89 tour. It was sad that a city like Chicago, which had supported the Who from the beginning of their American touring, was forced to travel here for their shows. This was one of my all-time least favorite venues. Overflowing portable toilets in the parking lot from a run of Grateful Dead shows that had been there earlier in the week. The tape joins the show in progress because the box office couldn't find our tickets...no good memories here except for the performance itself which was great.
