Everyone was concerned that this show wouldn't happent after richard manuel committed suicide a few weeks
earlier. Then the st louis show was on and we were relieved but still sad at his passing. When we got in to
the park west you could feel a sense of quiet anxiety about what mood the band would be in. They walked out
and said hi and proceeded to play a great show.

When a band member dies in any band you worry and wonder what affect it will have, is this a new era for the
band etc. It seemed as if there was no change at all and the music was as fresh as it has always been. With
the passing of rick and more recently levon, this recording is very special to me.

The sound in the theater was excellent. That in turn helped this be a excellent recording. The crowd came to
listen and enjoy the music of the band. They did just that. Now its your turn... Enjoy (turn it up)

after richards suicide. Clearly that isnt correct



Do record as many blues shows as you can becuase it might just help cure cancer. You never know
