Taper notes:
ALO -- this particular performance remains the only time I've ever seen them perform.  I definitely recall enjoying it (though the only thing I can truly remember about this performance was jumping on the tramplolines that the ALO fans seem to bring out to their performances!) but don't have any specific recollections about this performance.  BARN62 is one of those recordings that escaped through the BARN doors on the back of another recording that was on the same DAT that I really do want to get out there (look for it in BARN63).

So enjoy some tasty ALO from what is arguably the best music festival anywhere, High Sierra.  This is from my 2nd time at High Sierra, and what turned out to be my first trip with my then-girlfriend, now-wife Jen!

Enjoy!

Scott
