comments:
St. Joe's PA was off to one side and the crowd blocked the vocals from my microphones so he sounds a little distant or muffled.
Left a couple of those songs off of this set as it got real muffled as more of the crowd jammed up front.

Artistic freedom by the sound engineer (me) was invoked in the postproduction editing of "Miserlou" and omitting some of the second set.
If you've got any problems with that, write your congressman :)

Thanks to Jim and the band for allowing recording and sharing of their performances
Thanks also go out to St. Joe and Chris Dugan for making a wild party out of the night.
