* Indicates first song of set and also // where tape flip occured- some brief Recording Level adjustments ,

Recorded from the first row , at the edge of the stage- in front of Joey and Terry
with Sony D-3 and the little Sony mic by Brad Jacobs

Master tape played on Nakamichi BX 300 > Nak BX 100 Dolby B
Played 1st Gen tape on Nak BX 300 Dolby B > Pioneer PDR 04 > cd-r

This is probably my all time favorite Q show I was at and Live Q Audience Recording, definately in my top 5 Live NRBQ tapes
Brad and I got to the venue early and grabbed the first row seats right in front of Joey- we could literally touch his shoes while he was playing!
Brad set up the deck and mic in his backpack-on the floor less than 10 feet from the amps!
The sound quality and energy of this recording is EXCELLENT- because we were RIGHT THERE.
I have many tapes made with much better equipment but very few even compare to this gem!
This recording sounds fantastic on the home stereo- but even better with the headphones cranked up!
When I' m in party mode and drinking my wine on a Saturday night-- THIS is the cd that usually ends up blasting on my stereo! ENJOY!!
