Location

Although the CD booklet states that this performance took place in "Vega Baja, San Juan", this is a production error. It should've read simply "Vega Baja" which is not part of San Juan (capital of Puerto Rico). There are four towns between Vega Baja and San Juan. Moreover, the festival actually took place in the town of Manatí, very close to the borderline with Vega Baja. Back in those days everybody mistakenly knew that area as being inside Vega Baja and not Manatí. Approximately a decade later this was corrected.
