The track numbering of the MP3 files is off, but the track order on this page is correct. Having fixed the track order I listened to this again and really enjoyed it.

For the first 8 songs the quiet parts and interludes feature music from James Brown's Funky People (Pt. 2), which was not intended but is not unpleasant, and makes for an interesting listen.

This is what we get:

Smallpox Champion & The Message From The Soul Sisters by Myra Barnes
Bed for the Scraping & The Message From The Soul Sisters by Myra Barnes
Bed for the Scraping & Hot Pants - I'm Coming, Coming, I'm Coming by Bobby Byrd
Guilford Fall & Do Your Thing (Live) by Lyn Collins
Reclamation & Do Your Thing (Live) by Lyn Collins
Do You Like Me & I'm Paying Taxes What Am I Buying by Fred Wesley and The JB's
Interlude 1 & I'm Paying Taxes What Am I Buying by Fred Wesley and The JB's
And the Same & I'm Paying Taxes What Am I Buying by Fred Wesley and The JB's
And the Same & Super Good by Myra Barnes
Floating Boy & Super Good by Myra Barnes
Floating Boy & Blow Your Head by Fred Wesley and The JB's
Pink Frosty & Blow Your Head by Fred Wesley and The JB's (just 14 seconds).

The background music may seem to come and go because the order of the tracks in the download may be messed up - it is different from the track order on this page, which might be correct. Another song is 'Super Good' by Myra Barnes - maybe the background music was James Brown's Funky People (Pt. 2)?

Although accidental, the combination of Fugazi and contrasting music comes across a bit like a mashup - 14 years before the 2011 Wugazi '13 Chambers' album. Non-Fugazi songs include Isaac Hayes' 'Do Your Thing', probably performed by Lyn Collins. Interestingly the background music comes and goes - it seems to end but then comes back strong to accompany 'Floating Boy'.

As mentioned, the music played between bands interferes with part of the Fugazi recording and botches the sound quality.
However, I still enjoyed listening to this recording which is actually decent, considering the (surreal) acoustic situation.
There are still plenty of musical highlights to be noted, including Do You Like Me, Rend It, And The Same, Arpeggiator (although somewhat rushed), Repeater, Turnover, Suggestion, Lockdown, and Glue Man (which is cut short unfortunately).
So if the set list or location appeals to you, I advise you do not hesitate to grab this one.
