From my original seed of this on the defunct Sharing The Groove tracker:
This is a TERRIFIC sounding audience recording of a classic pre-Murmur gig, at the Strand Cabaret in Marietta, GA. It's one of the best AUD recordings I've ever heard - at first I thought it was a soundboard recording but you can hear too much audience chatter for that to be the case. Either way, it's a phenomenal gig, and it is from a very critical part of the band's career - many of the songs that would end up on "Murmur" were written during this time, and you can hear the differences pretty clearly here. "Perfect Circle" is debuted here and played with a drum machine - this is why it was dropped from the live set shortly after summer 1982 until the Green tour, when they could do it justice.

Pulled this out for a re-listen the other day and realized a couple things:
1) It's too slow - per Audition, it runs about 2% slow.
2) It's out of phase.
3) It's muffled and otherwise poorly EQ'ed.

Beyond that, it's a great little gig that took *very* well to remastering - this could fool many people into thinking it's a soundboard!

I'm not convinced this is a cassette master. The underlying sonics sound very much as if it was a reel-to-reel tape source, or perhaps an Elcaset machine (a short-lived successor to the venerable cassette pitched by Sony in the late 1970's that had better frequency response and sonics than the classic cassette format). There's a Joy Division gig (Jan 18 1980 Eindhoven, Holland) recorded on Elcaset that has similar sonics, which makes me think this too is possibly Elcaset.

So I tarted it up quite a bit and, if I may be so humble, this is the definitive version of this gig. It's that good! So trash any other version you may have of this gig and grab this. Unless, of course, you have a soundboard of it ;)

Notes: 
For the first half of the song Sitting Still is played at half speed, before they kick into normal speed. It also contains the first known live performance of Perfect Circle (complete with drum machine). This show can be found on the CD bootleg "Do the Strand", which included a version of the song 'Crazy' from another performance. Enjoy! Drew
