"Monday’s “Welcome Home” benefit concert at the Forum, which raised money for Vietnam veterans, was a little like the war itself: It was extensively covered by TV cameras and it seemed to drag on forever."

The speeches are beyond tedious. By around track 40 the crowd is getting restless and annoyed.

They make references to the show being broadcast on television but I have no evidence.

My friend filled up 3 full tapes before cutting off during Rocky Mountain Way. Found a 60 min version on The Traders Den via Kingrue and with complete RMW + Roll With The Changes so I just tweaked the levels to match the original recording and added at the end. No idea how much more might be missing.

According to reviews it's Kevin Cronin solo finishing off the show, not the full REO Speedwagon.
