Silvio Rodríguez, 1983-04-02 Sala Avellaneda, Teatro Nacional de Cuba, Habana, Cuba.

Solo acoustic performance of 'old songs', many unreleased at the time. Hecklers requesting recent popular songs get politely refused. Sounds really good, just 1 brief rough patch. 1h 22m.

Blops, 1979 Equador.

Not much information about this, sounds like it is from 2-3 different concerts. The sound quality is good and the music is great. Blops were a Chilean band, formed in 1964, some of their songs are still well known to this day. 57m 28s.

Van Halen, 1982-10-22 The Centrum, Worcester, MA, USA.

Great-sounding soundboard recording featuring a 12-minute guitar solo from Eddie Van Halen, plus 16 songs and banter. Some guy throwing coins at Dave and 'Edward' gets a put-down that is not fit to print. 1h 34m.

Los Jaivas, 1970-01-24 Quinta Vergara, Viña del Mar, Chile.
The title, 'Tocamos Música de Vanguardia ¡Y Qué!' is shouted towards the end of this cacophonous, challenging piece of improvised music. Exciting listening. 23m 51s. From 'La Vorágine 1: Pan Negro'.

Dead Kennedys, 1982-07-01 Fairmont Hall, San Diego, CA, USA.
Jello Biafra celebrates the recent resignation of Alexander Haig, saying 'Kill the Poor' had been written about Haig and 'the mental illness of the military mind'. Muddy, chaotic, fun. 15 songs, 56m 07s.

Minor Threat, 1982-05-15 Club 57, The Fillmore, Irving Plaza, New York, NY, USA.

Hostile atmosphere, many interruptions, stage invasions, heckling, some unpleasant banter, "please get off the stage" x 1000, an apology. Sounds good when they get to play. 38m 09s.
