Here is a nice article written 30 years after the show. Good quotes from Ian as well...

I googled the name of the venue, to try and get an idea regarding the setting of this particular gig, and I have to admit that the Weinberg Center out in "beautiful Frederick, Maryland, the land of no restaurants", where the band "had to drive 8 million miles out to Route 40 to get some food" is actually quite a charming theater. And sizeable as well, which might explain the less than stellar (hollow) vocals which are almost reduced to mono in the mix. Overall, the performance is enjoyable yet suffers from a number of mistakes dotted around the place (notably during Song #1 or Break-In). Other than that, I find nothing much to report regarding the set list or general ambiance.
3 of us drove out to Frederick for this show. When we were driving back to DC we missed the turn and went to baltimore and decided to sleep in the car, but did not, we just rode our skateboards all over the place until we decided to drive back home

Please Note: Available recordings have been mastered to correct for volume shifts, drop outs, etc. but some sonic anomalies will still exist, especially early in the set when the mix is being settled. The band has rated each show for sound quality and set the general price of a download at $5 per show. If you have a different price in mind feel free to utilize the alternative pricing option.
Really enjoyed listening to this. It sounded better than I expected, with some echo that gave the recording atmosphere. People could be heard having fun adding their voices in time to some of the quiet parts, which made for an unusually lively version of Furniture, after which Ian thanked the "choir".
