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 Music Fair" 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. Being stationary likely made 20% - 25% of the seats unusable,
as they would have been behind the stage, and the view obstructed. It would later be
known as "Painter's Mill Star Theatre". 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.

I was lucky enough to catch The Police at a fairly small venue, right before they went
mega. The place was sold out. The Fleshtones, another I.R.S. act, was the opener. Much
like the U2 show I saw, previously posted, these guys came out blasting, and wasted little
time between songs. Really nice show, in my opinion. The only bummer was that my tape
jammed on the encore, missing a section of "Can't Stand Losing You". While the crowd
screamed for more, as you'll hear, the band did not return for a second encore. This one
is for DrBBalls (Fabien). Enjoy!
