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:

"Painter's Mill Music Fair" was in the Baltimore suburbs. It was one of those theatre in
the round joints, that had a rotating stage in the middle, although it never rotated for any
of the shows I saw there. Being stationary likely made 20% - 25% of the seats unusable,
as they would have been behind the stage, and the view obstructed. It would later be
known as "Painter's Mill Star Theatre". I guess it held maybe a couple thousand folks.
It burned to the ground years later. It was rumored that it had been torched for the
insurance.

This was the second and last time I saw Stanley Clarke as a solo act, the first a week earlier
at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC on April 14th. Unfortunately, there was an older
black lady in the audience playing along with a tambourine! Far enough away you that
you couldn't ask her to stop, but still audible. Finally after half the show had passed,
she was asked to stop by a bouncer, or leave. She left. Maybe I'll have it posted anyway.
At the "Painter's Mill" show I got stuck sitting next to some little kid who came with her
parents, so you can hear her a few times, but it's not too awful. If anybody can help with
the set list, as it's my best guess, please feel free to post that in the comments section.
Before anybody beats me up saying the drummer is Gerry Brown, he is introduced as
Darryl. Does anybody know if they are the same person, or two different drummers?
Enjoy!
