Steve's Show Notes (edited from his Crowesbase post):
- Gov't Mule opened
- Really nice PAC, much better than the actual town of Lafayette...
- This is my one "gem" from the tour, no other tapers and a VERY "swampy" setlist that fit the region to a tee, a GREAT FTP ("Dixie"), 5 songs
from Amorica, a SICK "Black Moon Creeping", finished up with an Elvis encore. Oh yeah, and a very creepy "Feathers", too. This show reminds me
a lot of the Florida run the week before, except with less rarities, just a sweet overall performance!
Rating : 9/10
"First Time Circulating From The Master" Notes:
- OK, this is an interesting one. This recording did circulate as part of the excellent and comprehensive Scott Weber ("Spider-Web") project, in
which he collected the best sources for the 1996 shows, and mastered and torrented them. For this one, Scott listed the lineage as follows
(which he believed to be correct):
Analog Master > DAT > Digital DAT Clone > .WAV > FLAC
Now, 20 years later, the truth comes out! I'll let Steve tell it:
"I sent Scott 2g cassette copies (made from my safeties), then he got 1g DAT transfers from my buddy Paul (who drank a lot back then), who
promised he wouldn't trade them to Weber, but because I knew he'd get drunk and do so, I put "master" stickers on my 1g's and sent them to Paul!
He then transferred my "masters" and sent them to Weber. I restickered them when Paul sent them back."
So, bottom line is that while this source has circulated previously, THIS is the first time it will circulate on a transfer directly from the
master cassettes!
Mastering Notes:
- Tape flip during the applause after "Hotel Illness" - seamlessly spliced, no music lost.
- Tape flip during the "Encore Break" applause - seamlessly spliced.
