I was living in Prince George at the time and I would spend as much down time as possible attending shows. This show was very entertaining. It was part of a week long winter music festival called Cold Snap which took place at various venues, this being the closing night. This was my second time seeing Jim Byrnes, and I was equally impressed by Del Rey and Steve Dawson. They are all very accomplished musicians. The sound was fantastic and the recording reflects this. There wasn't assigned seating, just general admission, so we sat dead centre in row G. The Playhouse Theatre is your typical community theatre on the inside, small with no balcony. The building used to be a fire hall and its in a poor location so it doesn't get used nearly as much as it should. We walked home in nearly a foot of snow after the show with the master tape and gear in my pockets. Snow shoes would have been useful for much of the walk.

Also included are some pictures I took at the show. Thanks to Del Rey for the help with one of the song names.
