Recording notes:
- This is almost definitely an incomplete recording, but this is all
that has ever circulated.
- The first song of each set cuts in, and a tape flip cuts out the very
beginning of Mother Funker.
- There is a hum/buzz coming from the PA that is particularly audible
between songs. I was not able to eliminate it without affecting the
music, so I elected to leave it in.

Historical notes:

This show circulated for a very long time as the oldest show out there,
dated April 1st, labeled Acme, then Acme Underground. However, John's
commentary at the very beginning of this recording dates it to a day
earlier, and another show gets the venue name right.

John mentions his own birthday "the day before" - you can even hear a
tiny snippet of John's lounge-singer-esque delivery of Happy Birthday
after Bad To The Bone - it sounds like he's singing "[happy birthday] to
us..." Since John's birthday is March 29th, that dates this show to the
31st. Further evidence of the venue can be heard at the end of the
recently surfaced 3/26/89 show, when John and Bobby mention a show at
Under Acme. Acme was the name of the restaurant upstairs from the venue,
and in the late 80's/early 90's, the room was known as Under Acme - it
didn't change to Acme Underground until the mid 90's.

Thanks to Eric for loaning me a definite upgrade to my hissy 4th-gen
cassette, and enjoy a recording nearly 23 years in the making.
