Notes:

An bright and clean sounding recording, it features one of the best configurations of The BAB ever in a great rare show recorded the night after Christmas in 1989. The mics were plaved center stage about four feet in front of Tony Rice's cowboy boots. Tony Rice in 1989 top form reminds us what a great singer he used to be. This show is awesome all the way around. - Dub Irie
