Notes: We had the deck hidden below the soundboard and had to start recording before the band's sound man was there. Because of this the 3 hour Dat tape only had 165 minutes available, which is unfortunately not quite enough for an entire George Clinton - P-Funk show. The suggested switch points for burning CDRs after converting the files in your burning app are before tracks 8 and 14. I had to get help with the setlist. The titles and track points are open to improvements, since they basically never stop and the transitions are rather subjective.
Thanks to Randall Kane, the now deceased owner of the Catalyst for supporting the music there for so long. Here’s a link to the trailer for a documentary about the Catalyst that was released in 2010 that includes an interview bit with Randall and gives a bit of an idea of what it was like at The Catalyst back in those days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2Y_ZmcdhO0
