The Sir Douglas Quintet & the Gourds
“Welcome to Gourdsville”
Stubbs BBQ, Austin, TX
25 October 1998

Comments:
Source unknown, but got the show in trade from Bruce Davis, who may have recorded it. It's not only a very good audience recording, but a great performance. It being Austin, the band is casual and relaxed, and this leads to strong versions of the songs. Also an interesting lineup with both Doug's and Augie's sons in the band.

As I received this, the last song on Disc 1 was also in the middle of Disc 2, and Disc 2 was pretty chopped up. It had a couple of brief cuts in the first few songs, then several more significant ones later in the disc. I made an attempt to combine them and re-track, but was largely unsuccessful. Anyone who's more skilled at editing and wants to take a stab at it, I can send copies of my original trade discs. This does not detract from the songs though, as the cuts are all between songs.
