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 "Wax Museum" was a great, but short lived club, that had previously been, well,
a Wax Museum! They even had a few of the old wax figures scattered around the
place. It roughly held a thousand people. There was ample theatre style seating near
the stage, and behind that tables where the sight lines were not as good. I always
sat in the theatre seats. It also had an attached parking garage, which was a joy.

This was BY FAR the best show I ever saw Roy perform. He was REALLY into it this night,
and even his vocals, which usually were poor, were damn good this night. Lots of passion
behind them. He announced to the crowd that he had a new album coming out that fall
entitled "Roy Buchanan's Last Album" on Epic Records, which was never released. I've
always wondered if it was ever recorded, and is just rotting away somewhere. The place
was sold out, which wasn't surprising since Roy was a local. I'm sure he could have
played here multiple nights if he wanted. If anybody can help on some of the song titles,
and the name of the bass player (announced, but hard to make out), please leave those
details in the comments section. Enjoy!
