Tracked by Wes Meyette

This comes from a cd rip that was 1 long wave file. Labeled as Roadhouse, but during 1979 is was known as the Lone Star Cafe.

I didn't know this material, so I sent it over to my buddy Wes. (big fan). I knew he could get it tracked with a set list and tell me more about it.

This was not in Wes's collection. Nor was it even listed in Featbase.net. but there's space in the tour list for it.

So this apparently is fairly rare, which surprised even myself. Even though this is SBD, the mix is a bit rough and lacks clarity.

The vocals are the loudest, while the band is lower in the mix.

----------------------------------------------

On June 15, 1979, Lowell began a tour in support of his solo album, "Thanks I'll Eat it Here."

Sadly Lowell would pass away in less than 2 weeks from a cocaine overdose, along with being very overweight. contributed to his passing.
