I'm not sure that there is much more to be said about Lou's tour of North America in late 1976. The Toronto show was one of the earlier dates, but the set list doesn't contain any surprises. The CHUM FM review is short but very entertaining - the reviewer clearly doesn't know much about Lou or his music.

This audience recording is average quality at best - Anthony's friends are very appreciative but unfortunately audible in various places. Having previously recorded Lou's 1975 show at the same venue, Anthony obviously thought that a single C90 cassette would be long enough for the 1976 concert as well....it should be treated as a historical document rather than as a hi-fi listening experience. No attempt at improvement on my part - aside from normalising, what you get is how it came off the cassette.

RIP Lou
