A few minor places with static, as well as a couple of millisecond level drops in the two encore songs, likely caused by a loose cable.

Before "Another Roadside Tragedy":
"Thank ya. Looks really...ah... in here...that's the first time that ah, a D harmonica hasn't worked, so...so, ah, as far as I know, you just...those bumper stickers must be true, you kept Portland weird...you might be simplifying things a little bit...Friday night's for simple things, you know..."
Show Notes:
This was the conclusion of my "almost 40" birthday trip (I turned 38 during)...got the Crowes on my birthday in Seattle, a couple of Tesla shows in the south immediately prior to this, then Them Crooked Vultures, Wolfmother, and this in Portland over the following 5 days.
I got a great taping position, and for the most part this recording is excellent, though I remember some dropouts/static at the very end way back when, but not sure if that was a bad transfer or on the master (have been too busy lately to listen to everything all the way thru).
That said, when a Crowes performance *opens* with a 16 minute "My Morning Song", you know it's time to take off the seat belt, stand up, and get swept away.
A solid 2 hour performance, it's a great companion piece to Seattle the night before.
As always, thank Dennis for taking his TIME to get this ready for ya.
And, again, as always, hit me with your best "eff off"...'cuz I like it like that.
What COULD be coming next?
An uncirculated (source) Crowes '95 all acoustic performance from Holland?
Stay toooooooooooooned!!!
