Note: 
There is no fill available to the only short portion left missing here, at the end of Stairway Of Heaven. All other known sources from this show are missing even more material around that spot. Previously seeded versions of this show, appearing to be more 'complete' (such as jimshoes version), are in fact including patches taken from a different show (1988 03 05 Cleveland OH). 

Credits: Many thanks to Rick/analog414 for taping this show and for sharing his 1988 Chicago Master tape transfers via his Shoebox seeds. Thanks to all fill source contributors: George Bethke, Justin Lee, Dave Cohen and pbuzby This version brought to you by analog414 and flambay. 

Enjoy !!

Thanks to all the sources and The Zappateers!!
