This show was part of Festival By The Sea, a multicultural festival held each summer outdoors on the waterfront in Saint John, NB. The show is Brucke Cockburn solo, about a week after he was originally scheduled to play. On the original date Bruce was very sick and couldn't perform. He generously agreed to return a week later and play his show to a very appreciative crowd. At some points you can hear traffic (notably motorcycles) driving past the venue, which is very close to some downtown streets. Bruce notes this humerously right before All the Ways I Want You.

Overall an interesting night of music, and the only recording of the show!

Please don't sell this recording, and don't distribute lossy (MP3, etc) versions. Share the lossless versions.

Go and buy the artist's official merchandise to support them. They deserve it.
