--Show Notes--
- The energy of the crowd was not to be denied this night, and fully
realizing the situtation the band basically tossed the mellower,
listening-room set they had envisioned right out the window. Instead
they rolled right on out of the gate with a high-energy bounce and
smoothed-out, affable approach to their jamming.
- Just 90 minutes, but a remarkably sweet set from beginning to end.

--Tech Notes--
- As noted above where it reads "Official Bleauleg (1)", the '1' simply
indicates that the finishing (ie: mixing & mastering) that went into
making this Bleauleg is of a "1st draft" type quality. Due to the
sheer # of recordings we've done and the demands of the trading world
to get these out there, we simply can't spend an exorbitant amount of
time on each show. Should there be a voiced demand for improvements,
we may opt to release a 2nd revision (and so on) somewhere down the
road. Our Mantra: Nothing is ever final.
