Notes:

This isn't such a rare show since davmar shared it back in 2008, but since I don't seem to have that version, I worked from a CDR of this which pre-dated his upload. It's almost certain to be the same source, but this would be a different tracking/mastering.

This show took place around the time of the "Home" LP release, and sadly this appears to be all that circulates or survives from what was probably a show that ran at least twice as long -- the encore set of rock n' roll covers alone purportedly lasted 40 minutes.

It's a decent capture for its time, and has a nice analog warmth to it. It's far from perfect though; glitches in "Shine On Brightly," "Juicy John Pink," and "Nothing That I Didn't Know" may detract from some of the listening pleasure. Still, if you never grabbed the previous upload, and don't feel like paying for a CDR on iOffer of this show that was very clearly derived from davmar's prior posting, then here's your chance to grab a different version. Hoping someone will re-seed davmar's in the future if that one is better quality.

Over the years on dime, EZT, the Archival Group, and through all the various and assorted other trading groups online preceding that, and the CDR, DAT, and analog cassette traders which came before, I've gathered a moderate collection of items to share. I've helped with transfers (the Cactus and related uploads from over a decade ago here, and currently a bite out of the massive Stonecutter Archives), contributed setlists and corrections to many a torrent -- all the sort of things that don't raise one's share ratio. I've shared some of my masters back in the old snail mail days, but it's high time to give back more here from where I've received so much. I had meant to do a roll-out with something grand and possibly a series (Elegymart #1, #2, etc.), but that's been done countless times before.

At this point not only have we've all aged along with dime's existence, but our media and the equipment that can play it back has as well. So rather than any fanfare or concern over share ratio, consider this upload another step in a more diligent attempt to beat the time and to circulate the collection.

Enjoy,
