--Show Notes--
- This show seems to have a little of everything, striking a nice balance
  between the acoustic and electric material. From solo to trio to full
  band renditions of old and new material alike, and with a nice spread
  of fun covers, the spirited crowd was not shy in their appreciation. :)

--Tech Notes--
- Overall very wet sounding as the house sound engineer employed a lot
  lot of reverb & delay, over-zealously so for 'Pimpers Paradise'. :(
  With the exception of this one track that was way overdone, the rest
  of the recording sounds considerably good.
- A few moments of low-end weirdness at the very end of 'All Wet'.
- 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.
