Comments:

1- PLEASE help with the set list.
2- Taper's show description & comments follow:

The "Marble Bar" was a venue that operated in the basement of a seedy hotel from about
1977 to 1985. In it's heyday, both the hotel and the bar had been Baltimore landmarks.
It got it's name from a 70 foot solid marble bar. In 1977 it was in a rough area of town.
The venue could have been really nice if they had the funds to restore it some, but that
never happened. It was a lot of concrete, and smelled like a musty basement to boot. The
last I heard, it had boarded up for years, and they were going to convert the Hotel into
condos.

This was the first of the four times I saw Muddy. Nick Jamison (ex-FOGHAT) opened touring
on his solo record. I thought the sound left something to be desired, as the vocals sounded
like they were coming from the next room. Still, I'm happy to still have this document to
one of the greats, and I hope you enjoy it as well, despite the vocal mix. Instrumentally it
sounds fine.
