Taper's Comments:

1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:

Of all the shows I recorded at Lisner Auditorium, this is the best sounding one by
far. Even though the venue is only about 1500 seats, I never thought much of the
acoustics there. The big difference on this show was that I was close to the stage,
and that, coupled with the style of music performed, seemed to make all the difference.

This is John and The One Truth Band supporting their "Electric Dreams" album. There
were originally supposed to be two shows, but it was reduced to one, which didn't sell
out, but I remember the venue being full. I remember one guy coming in on crutches,
then when he sat down, he attached two Shure SM57 microphones with duct tape to
them! If his deck was any good, I bet that's one hell of a recording! The band played for
a very long time to an appreciative audience, and I used up about every inch of tape I
brought along. I've done my best on the set list, but any corrections or additions would
be appreciated. Please post those in the comments section for everybody's benefit. Enjoy!
