Taper's Comments:

1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:

"Painter's Mill Star Theatre" was in the Baltimore suburbs. It was one of those theatre in
the round joints, that had a rotating stage in the middle, although it never rotated for any
of the shows I saw there (save this one time), as the band mentions. It had previously
been known as "Painter's Mill Music Fair". I guess it held maybe a couple thousand folks.
It burned to the ground years later. It was rumored that it had been torched for the
insurance.

Here's The Nighthawks opening for Muddy Waters (previously posted, Torrent #260029),
and they would even sit in on Muddy's set later in the night. If anybody can help with
the set list, please post the correct song titles in the comments section for everybody's
benefit. Enjoy!
