I got this in a snail mail trade about 4 years ago and just ran across it again.
I have never uploaded a show so try and be patient if I screw it up somehow.
The Madison, Wisconsin show at the Barrymore Theater on July 10, 1997,
is a bit of a curiosity. The concert was sponsored by "Triple M Radio," 105.5 FM,
Madison, as its sixth anniversary party and included acts other than Luther.
At least parts of the show were broadcast (later, I think). This was also a homecoming
for Luther, as Madison was his adopted US home (a fact Luther acknowledges on stage).
It was Alligator Records' founder and President Bruce Iglauer's fiftieth birthday
also acknowledged by Luther on stage as Bruce was in the audience (perhaps ironic since
the birthday greeting is included only in the "import" CD that possibly rips-off Alligator).
Add to this the facts that Luther had just been diagnosed with terminal lung and brain
cancer that day AND that this seems to have turned out to be his last recorded concert.
