Legendary DC Concert Promoter Mike Schreibman was responsible for the reopening of the Warner Theater in downtown DC. This Emmylou Show was the first show in the revamped 2000-seat acoustically-perfect vaudeville house. The concert was broadcast on WHFS-FM 102.3--Homegrown Radio,
from back in those sorely missed days: no playlists, knowledgeable DJs, and support for homegrown artists like Emmylou, who here returns triumphant. I taped the show off the radio, and the cassette has held up remarkably well. I did miss taping the opening number and most of "San Antone Rose" as well as
"Till I Can Gain Control Again" and most of "Jambalaya" during the tape flip.
Thanks to Deborah Nickerson, I received all missing trackss except for "Till I Can Gain Control Again" from her source. Dave Tamarkin then located the elusive missing track.
