Taper notes:
Sorry, not too much of a story about this one.  Don't really have any recollections from this show at all besides it being a generally fun time and some fuzzy details about the Ominious Seapods running onstage and doing some really crazy stuff during Brent Black.

Sometimes you check out a somewhat ancient recording and it doesn't sound that great....but then there are times like this one where you check out a recording you haven't listened to maybe since the night you recorded it and it just sounds WONDERFUL.

This is release number 10 in my occasional BARN archive restoration series.  Enjoy!
