NOTE!: I was away from the recorder at a nearby table eating during the 1st set. When I returned to the deck, I found it had stopped recording. I didn't know how much of the show had passed, but I later got the set list from Jeffrey Strahl and the notes reflect the songs *played but not recorded. Mea Culpa.
