With the recent torrenting of 7 March, 1980, New York and 8 March, 1980 Passaic, I thought I'd offer up this final night of the 16 Tons US mini tour.  San Francisco (2 March), Los Angeles (3 March), Philadelphia (6 March), and Boston (9 March) were the other nights.  The sound quality isn't quite as good on those other recordings, but we can get to them in time.

This was a quick tour add-on to raise money for Jackie Wilson's medical expenses.  Apparently The Nuge showed up looking' for trouble!

The source for this torrent is a DYI boot CDR which showed up on eBay and other places in 1999.  It seems to be more a labor of love than a proto commercial venture, and they did a good job in sourcing what sounds to be a very low gen, if not master, tape source.
