The New Orleans Riverfest was held for several years in the mid-late 90's at the I.C. Light Amphitheatre and Tent at Station Square on Pittsburgh's Southside. In 1996 Eric Burdon was booked as one of the headliners on May 25th along with Zachary Richard. Other nights, the headliners included Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band on May 24th, Steve Riley on the 26th, and Beausoliel and the Iguanas on the 27th. Alvin Lee was originally co-billed with Burdon in his band but left the tour prior to the Pittsburgh show. The band played a couple of songs prior to Burdon's arrival onstage, but I didn't record them because my band had just played an opening set in the tent and I was scrambling to tear down my drums and pack everything up before Eric came on. Fortunately I made it for his complete (albeit short) set.
