# Guest singer on 'Unknown Song'. It sounds like this guy might be a (drunk) friend of the band.
* Guest harp player - He attempts to play harmonica on DeKalb blues. He returns later and plays harp and is present for most of the last several songs. He must have sobered up because the harp playing seems to improve.
These recordings were on 2 tapes labeled 'Chi Chi', with no date. Also on both tapes were parts of a Dinosaurs show from 6/1/84. I'm fairly certain all of the Thunder and Lightning songs from both tapes are from the same show, most likely 1984. The recording is consistent in sound quality and there are no repeated songs and the harmonica player is present throughout several songs from beginning to end. It is most likely incomplete and could be partially out of order though I personally think not. I've presented the song order in a way that made sense to me from the masters, the breaks in the numbering represent each side of the tapes. I have searched many set lists trying to identify this recording with no luck.Anyone with any insight please let me know at johnieappel@yahoo.com
