This was a benefit show called "Drumming For Love", put together by Shari Frank to help pay for some of Eric Bolivar's medical expenses (he has a health issue with his kidneys and required expensive dialysis on a regular basis).  Additionally the show paid tribute to taper and huge New Orleans music fan Eric Vandercar whose life was tragically cut short at 53 in a Metro North train accident.

Scofflaws played first, then this all-star lineup.  The Jambalaya Brass Band played between sets of this "superjam".  I recorded their set, but since they played unamplified and parading through the crowd, it isn't really listenable.

I scrubbed a ton of locally loud claps & whistles from this set: S1T8(1 whistle, 10 claps), S1T9(2 claps), S1T10(3 claps), S1T11(3 claps), S2T4(15 claps, 1 whistle), S2T5(5 claps), S2T6(118 claps!, 1 whistle), S2T7(7 claps), S2T8(8 claps), S2T9(3 claps, 1 whislte), S2T10(31 claps)
