(1) "Three Little Birds" was added to the original setlist, however "Better When You're Not Alone" was cut.
(2) Full lineup is unknown.  All of the Black Crowes except Rich played on "Deal".  Marc Ford also played on "All Along The Watchtower".
    No Crowes played on "Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad".

Recording Notes:
Tape flips after "Bring On, Bring On", and between the Crowes' set and the electric jam.  No music lost.

Taper Notes:
- Portland Meadows is what it is, a racetrack of sorts (for horses, I assume), however, it makes for GREAT 'open air' sound due to no
  walls/barriers/etc.
- Another FANTASTIC Furthur experience, this show was a treat in that they crammed 10 songs into an hour..."She Gave Good Sunflower"
  made a great opener for a sunny evening that was turning to dusk, and by the end of the Crowes set it was pure darkness...one song
  that MUST be mentioned is "How Much For Your Wings" and the mind-melting jam that proceeded it...pure "space madness", it HAS to be
  heard with headphones to be believed, the best version I've ever heard!  The post-show jam was yet ANOTHER treat, as the entire band
  sans Rich sat in for the Dead's "Deal", then after that Marc TORE UP the solo on "All Along The Watchtower" ("Goin' Down The Road
  Feeling Bad" was also played, but no Crowes were involved)...a perfect end to July of '97, and after a 1 day break, the "home base" of
  the Dead was next on the agenda...
