Notes: VH fan ffoner was able to track down the guy who recorded this show (he also recording the VH Albuquerque 9/10/80.) It was hoped the masters would reveal a major upgrade. Unfortunately that wasn't the case, the recording is quite average. Nevertheless the recording is unique in a couple of ways: the band plays a cover of "Summertime Blues" the old Eddie Cochran number that was also covered by Blue Cheer, Hendrix and others. It's the only recorded version of the tune on the Fair Warning Tour. This is also the last document of the Fair Warning tour that has surfaced. This is also one of the smaller venues the band played on the tour, with a capacity of 7,000. The band actually opened for the Rolling Stones on October 24 and 25 at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando to end the tour (hard to believe not one of the 60,000+ fans present recorded VH.)  This up ends with an interview done with Alex on KLAQ in El Paso the day of the show.
