This show was a pleasant surprise. The Radiators Tulane Quad shows were free shows outside for the students and the general public. The month of May in New Orleans is hot and humid. You could expect this show to be short and routine. It was not. This show rocks from beginning to end. This show is typical Radiators, only that it is more than youd expect. The guitar solos are extra hot throughout. The percussion adds special highlights in Under the Boardwalk, a relatively rare Radiators cover, and to Pass Out the Diplomas (really Pass Out The Hatchets). Zeke and the Boys have fun with the lyrics as they did later in Set 3 with a ribald version of Hard To Handle; and when Red Dress becomes Free Bird in name only. The version of Feelin All Right from this show is the best Ive heard from the Radiators performing this song. This show is a six out of five stars show.

The whole show fills two CDs at 78:34 and 73:09. In one song I heard some electronic hum at the beginning and in two songs there are a couple of one second sound drop outs, but they dont detract from your enjoyment. The sound is good, but the five stars rating of this show are for the Radiators and their great performance. I highly recommend it.

What a way to end a collegiate career of Radiation! Radiator nation welcomed me to N'Awlins in August of '81 with the boys playing an orientation gig on the quad, and said so long this great afternoon. Those Dixie trucks with taps on the sides never stopped flowing, and a good time was had for four years! Sure was the best years of my life!

This is the show that hooked my on The Radiators!! I finally have a replacement to my near twenty year old Maxell Bootleg. Been with me ever since. This show is the essence of the band. Great jammin', fun cover tunes, and many outstanding originals. Give this one a try if you are not familiar to the Radiators! Let's Radiate!
