------------------------------------------------
This is a great show of Strength In Numbers - but then, they were all great weren't they?

etree lists Strength In Numbers as playing Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 1988 but that isn't really the case. I was there and no one had ever really heard of Strength In Numbers then, but we sure knew who the Telluride All-Stars were. It may be that they had formed already but they did not play Telluride under this name until 1989.
If this is dated correctly, it marks the first real entry in etree for this group. The venue is unknown. - DUB
