There were actually several live T of P live recorded performances. Incredible recording quality for live performance. The DtoD performance was Sheffield Lab #17, recorded June 22-24, 1981 @ the Sheffield Lab studios at MGM, Culver City Ca. 2nd cut first side, "You're Gonna Need Me", and 2nd cut 2nd side "What Is Hip"......Bolt down your listening chair. I think that the Sheffield is available in CD format. One drawback to T of P, you can't stop your feet from tapping for 2-3 days after listening. That band COOKS! Happy Listening, Ed

I really don't think there is such a thing as a poor performance from T of P. They are an incredibly polished group of musicians that will put on an unbelievable performance at any venue. IMHO, Ed.
