Note:  There were serious problems with mixing Van Hunt's vocals on Soulive's Set 1, track 9 and the beginning of 10 -- mostly they were sort of low in the mix and hard to hear, and then towards the end there were some feedback problems and that is all reflected in this recording

This version of Aladdin is very unique and "out there" with a feedback-filled intro from Neal

Van Hunt opened the show.
