Chuck Prophet is simply always terrific. Not sure what more to say than that - I've now seen him three times, at three different venues, with three different drummers, and every time was just pure rock-and-roll pleasure. This time his special encore guest was Garland Jeffreys, who wandered out late for the encore, immediately launched into "Wild In The Streets," followed that up with "Til John Lee Hooker Calls Me," then launched *again* into "Wild In The Streets," because why not? Chuck looked simultaneously baffled and joyous.

The Bell House has never been my favorite room for these binaural mics, because it's really wide and you get a fair bit of echo bouncing off the side walls, but I was placed fairly well (maybe 10-15 feet back just left of center), and the result is pretty decent. There may well be better recordings of shows from this tour on archive.org (there's a *lot* from this tour on archive.org), but none of them have Garland Jeffreys singing "Wild In The Streets" twice, now do they?

Usual disclaimer about not selling this under any circumstances, buying all of Chuck's music, all the stuff you know already. But do it anyway.
