This one is truly special. In 1996, Barbara Manning toured Europe with Calexico, with Joey Burns and John Convertino first playing a set on their own, then serving as her backing band for the closing set. This is the only recording I've heard from this lineup, and it's an absolutely stellar one: a terrifically mixed SBD featuring several songs that were to appear on Barbara's then-unreleased 1212 album.

The lineage above is assuming it’s the same source as the Calexico portion of the show, which has been shared separately. There’s a very small amount of hiss present on this set, possibly due to a cassette transfer before it arrived at me via CDR, but this is the best version I’ve been able to locate — and it’s an outstanding recording in any case.
