NOTES:
----------
This is a full band acoustic in-store performance. Dave mentions they were late
arriving for this show because the band was soundchecking at The Blues Alley
for the evening's show.
That show was apparently not recorded by fans, or at least not in circulation.
This recording of the in-store show was very difficult to find.
This recording has some hiss, but is still sounds nice. It's an audience recording,
as best as I can tell, since you can hear people talking a little between songs.
It also sounds like an extremely small venue, so there isn't much crowd noise.
This is probably not the entire show. The recording ends just after Ants is
finished. Setlist archives show 7 more songs as being played after Ants.
There is a spot of diginoise/static at the start of Jimi Thing. After the song a
neon light at the venue starts malfunctioning. You can actually hear it buzzing
on and off and Dave comments about it.
At the start of Dancing nancies you can hear a girl in the right channel say,
"This song makes me hot."
These rare older shows have been collected and converted through a collaborative
effort to get them into circulation. Sometimes these shows do not have the best
sound quality (and maybe that's why they aren't circulated much to begin with),
but people should have access to them.
Thanks to Andy Svenson for donating the CD source used for the conversion.

I cut everything above 15kHz to take out high frequency squeek and normalized to 100%.
