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:

"The Bayou" was a legendary club in the Georgetown section of Washington, DC,
located by the Potomac River, under an overhead section of the Whitehurst
Freeway. It lasted into the 21st Century, but it was closed because the property
was worth more as office space than a nightclub. What a loss. Many famous acts
played here on their way up or down, such as U2, SRV, Dire Straits, The Pretenders,
etc.

This is the last gasp of the McGuinn - Hillman Band, which was the last gasp of McGuinn,
Clark & Hillman. They started out strong with a # 33 chart hit, "Don't You Write Her Off", in
1979, then it slowly went downhill from there. Clark recorded on the second album, "City",
but had quit before it was released. There was a third album just entitled "The McGuinn
- Hillman Band", and this is from the tour supporting that album. I assume their label,
Capitol dropped them, and that was it. Man, if any of those label executives had attended
this show, they would have signed them up for another three albums! It was one of those
rare nights where the audience and the band just fed off each other. A great show! If
anybody is certain on the name of the drummer, please leave that in the comment section.
It sounds like Tom Rainey, who was a noted jazz drummer. Enjoy!
