Notes:
First, this show was moved to this venue the week of the show as the promoter abruptly closed up shop. This
is a much larger venue, really bigger than needed, but the show went on anyway thankfully. They may have even
drawn a bigger crowd, though I didn't have any real problems near me. BettySoo was the opening act and James
came out and played on her last 3 songs which I didn't record but featured Woody Guthrie's "Deportees" to
close her set. Lastly, I've seen James @10 times and this may have been my favorite performance - everyone was
in great form! Sound is excellent. Samples below. Enjoy!
