Marin County Fair - Blues Festival

The addition of Mark Naftalin and Charlie Musselwhite on more than half the set makes this performance extra special! Excellent soundboard audio from VHS HiFi masters. I actually have two different masters of this show. One has the video signal with the audio track being the camera's built-in microphone audio, which is extremely overloaded. The other VHS tape has the soundboard audio feed without the video. I'll share the synched soundboard audio with the video soon but I could really use a more accurate setlist to better author the DVD. so... here's a Flac file set first. Thanks in advance for any setlist assistance.
