--Show Notes--
- Definitely some unique and energized moments. Luke Patchen sitting in
on a few of the tunes was certainly a rare treat! And the crowd, albeit
modest in size, was truly warm and responsive... overall, real solid.
- Unfortunately, the band went late and didn't realize it. As a result,
their attempt at finishing the 2nd set with 'Inspired By No One' was
cut off abruptly by the sound guy, much to the chagrin of everyone else
in the room, hence the apply renamed "Inspired By Force". Furthermore,
an encore was entirely out of the question. :(
--Tech Notes--
- No major issues with the recording itself, though both the overall mix
quality and signal strength of the SBD source gradually improves over
the course of the evening.
- 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 an obvious 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" .
