Taper's Comments:

1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:

The Bottom Line" was in my opinion, the best club to see a show in NYC, in the 80's.
Good sound, sightlines, and a casual atmosphere. More importantly, it was one of the
few places where you could see a show at a decent hour, and still get home before
the last train left town for the night. It's a shame it is no longer open.

Here's THE DESERT ROSE BAND touring on their first album. I went to this show to tape
it for a BYRDS buddy, who taped me SPIRIT stuff in his area. It was a good deal, as I loved
THE BYRDS and all the solo acts! Even though I wasn't a huge country fan, these guys
were killer! I met four of the original BYRDS, and Chris Hillman was BY FAR the nicest guy
of the bunch, and very approachable. Enjoy!
