This was the second of two solo appearances by Taj Mahal at The Ark. The Ark is my favorite all time venue because of its intimacy. With 300+ sears, no seat is more than 30 feet away from the stage.

The audio was not altered. I may post later the opening act for both nights, a young rising star starting out.
