"Grape notes": The scheduled show date was October 3rd but this first set performance was from 12:10am until 1:10am on October 4th. The info file with another torrent of this set states that John Cale is playing keyboards but I do not hear any keyboards and it sounds like he is playing bass. He mentions on the late show recording about not thinking that he's in tune, which presumably wouldn't be a factor if he was playing keys. This is being offered as both 16/44.1 and 24/96 file sets for those who care about one or the other or both. Please support the artists and live venues any way that you can. Enjoy and SHARE!
