+ Radio freestyle
This show came from Jeff Salmon as a cd-da and was extracted using
EAC in secure/high mode. This is an indoor venue, and the recording
is a DAUD. So the sound is muffled and the bass is accentuated.
The band also credits the show as being in Denver a few times, not
Crested Butte. The details of that are still unclear at the time this
was seeded to Etree in May 2002. Some rare Spearhead songs appear in
this show's setlist, like: Red Beans and Rice, Keep Me Lifted,
Hole In The Bucket, and Home, which make this show more unique.
It's also sort of evolutionary, because we hear Yes I Will and
Feeling Free when they were in their very early stages. Listen for
what's been scrapped and what's been kept. Sort of neat. It's
interesting how a year later now, those unreleased tracks are still
not out on an album in the USA. Other shows in the Summer or 2001
had more energy than this show, and the song choices, where they put
a bunch of slow songs in the encore for example, could have been better.
Radio does the beatbox mix of Billy Jean in Sometimes. The other thing
that came up when listening to this show was how Michael seems to sing
the last two songs in a key that's too high for him.

Flaws:
There are a few tracking issues on this boot that could have been
done differently. But no changes or edits were made. It didn't
seem worth the effort, as this show is best listened to in one pass
and was treed this way on Freaky & Free.
