This show was only announced a few weeks before the date, so I was able to get very good seats. It seemed like a good opportunity to try out my new mikes. The recording came out OK, but a little low in volume, so I went through and lowered the amplitude of the applause and boosted the overall level. Other than that, the recording is untouched. Hope you all like it.

A very good show by Our Hero - I was particularly struck by the versions of 1952 Black Vincent and Shoot Out The Lights. And I thought Down Where The Drunkards Roll was the best I ever heard - enhanced by a woman sitting a few seats down from me with a voice from heaven on the choruses.

I guessed at the title of song 2 (never heard it before, but RT said it was a new song on his web site), song 3 and song 8.

Enjoy and share!
