Tape flip before C. Brown Tape flip between Low Rider and Pusherman Tape flip before the Fixin’ to Die There are some weathering issues with this cassette, so the first minute or so will be very muted and distorted. It will get much better after that;)

Show Notes:

This was a great four-night run in the heart of Atlanta. The venue was interesting becuase it was a “shotgun” type buiding in that was long and lean. The stage was on the right side wall as you come in and there was an elevation change on the left with booths. The bar and bathrooms were all the way in the back. The result was that you were right on top of the band at eye level. I don’t think I ever taped another show from a booth. Good times and sick shows.

Show Notes:
This was an intense experience. You hiked from the parking area into the woods and to the mouth of a huge Copper mine. There were people out in the woods everywhere. They laid sawdust inside the mine to help with footing, and the electricity was provided by generators. To say that the natives were restless for the show is a huge understatement. They formed a human chain to keep people outside until the band was ready, but that fell apart when someone got pepper-sprayed. It was chaos after that, which did not help the taping process, but certainly added to the experience. During set-break, you could explore very deep inside the core of the mineshaft, which was brilliantly lit with all of the headlamps and lighters. After the show, all lights were blue, as the Police had roadblocks at all exits. Don’t say that JB didn’t warn you;)

This is not a great recording, but it is listenable and worth seeding just for the historical significance of the Cave show. Enjoy!

Show notes:

It seems the Band always plays well at Sewanee, so it was not surprising when an unusual amount of old faces and new faces converged for this show. Widespread was an early act, playing in front of Will and the Bushmen and Love Tractor…yes, Love Tractor.

This was originally scheduled to be an outdoor event, but was moved inside due to the approaching storms. By the time they got everything moved into the Hall, the sky was blue, there was a brisk breeze, and the crowd was seriously chomping at the bit. Unfortuately, the move shortened the length of the show quite a bit, but what time they did play was well spent. Cheers!
