Show notes provided by Scott Norman:
____________________________________

This show was held at the Fairgrounds in my hometown of Guilford, CT on Sunday August 7, 1988. The true credit for this recording should go
to my old Dead Head taping buddies, Chuck and Bob. It has been so many years that I can't even remember the full names, if you are out there, drop me a line.

Every summer the town would put on a Sunday Concert at the Fairgrounds and everyone would come down and enjoy the music, the previous summer NRBQ was the headline.

My friends gave me a call and told me to meet them there, bring my Sony D6 and a patch cord, they had the rest of the equipment.
We set up right next to the Soundboard, a rent a truck flatbed with the soundboard in the rear facing the stage.
We set up 2 Nakamichi CM 300 mics on a 12 foot stand right next to the truck, pretty much dead center of the field, 20 yards back or so.
I patched my deck into the Sony D 5. I was using a Maxell XLII tape using Dolby C.

The show was great! Listen for yourself......

A week later I heard on WPLR in New Haven that Roy was dead and that the show in Guilford was his last performance.

I have had this cassette in my closet for almost 18 years and have only gave it to 5 or 6 people, mostly in the past 6 months.

For the transfer to cd I played the Master Cassette on my Nakamichi BX 300 Dolby C On into my home cdr recorder Panasonic PDR 04.

I used no computer programs to enhance or alter the sound, it is a straight transfer.

This is by far the best recording I every was lucky enough to record. My buddies deserve all the credit, I was lucky that they let me patch in.

Enjoy this historic and awesome performance- It is an EXCELLENT recording of music history.
