--Show Notes--
- The energy of the crowd was not to be denied this night, and fully 
  realizing the situtation the band basically tossed the mellower,
  listening-room set they had envisioned right out the window. Instead
  they rolled right on out of the gate with a high-energy bounce and
  smoothed-out, affable approach to their jamming.
- Just 90 minutes, but a remarkably sweet set from beginning to end. We
  even got the rare soul-clap breakdown section of 'Ophelia'. (word)


--Tech Notes--
- As noted above where it reads "Official Bleauleg (1)", the '1' simply
  indicates that the finishing (ie: mixing & mastering) that went into
  making this Bleauleg is of a "1st draft" type quality.  Due to the
  sheer # of recordings we've done and the demands of the trading world
  to get these out there, we simply can't spend an exorbitant amount of
  time on each show.  Should there be a voiced demand for improvements,
  we may opt to release a 2nd revision (and so on) somewhere down the
  road.  Our Mantra: Nothing is ever final.
- Comments, complaints, suggestions and/or special requests can be sent
  directly to "Trader Dan" <bleaulegs@ryanmontbleau.com>.
