Listened all the way to Crazy but too many pops and artifacts that sound like they are from a bad boom box type dubbing deck so I skipped ahead to Whiter Shade Of Pale.

I got this in a trade from someone who had recorded a list of very interesting gigs in Scotland starting in the early 1980s. He just didn't trade much. I got into contact with him because of another band but received some other interesting recordings, including this one. (Before you ask, it was the only Grand Slam show on his list.) He had it listed as "November 1984" but later he corrected this. If you have this as "November 1984" please correct your data. The files are exactly as how I received them.

The sound is surprisingly clear for a recording this age, but some low is missing. If someone is willing to spend some time using an equaliser on this recording, be my guest, and re-share your new version. Not being a huge fan, I have no idea whether this has been circulated widely or is a special show because of the setlist or whatever. I like the recording even as it is and hope you do too!

Enjoy!
