For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we turn to Slicing Up Eyeballs reader Walt, who shared with us this full 90-minute recording of classic Athens, Ga., alt-rockers Love Tractor performing a free show on the University of California at Los Angeles campus on Feb. 12, 1987. Walt writes: “I’ve stored it away for years, but finally got around to uploading it.”
Below, you can watch the full show, and perhaps help us identify a couple missing songs from the setlist.
