Steve's Show Notes (edited from his Crowesbase post):
- Gov't Mule opened
- Um, it's the Joint. 'nuff said.
- What can be said about this show that wasn't said before? A legendary performance in the Crowes annals. I'd put my recording up against any
of the other audies, it's got a bit more dynamics than the stack one, IMO. What a finale!
Rating : 9/10

Quote from "boa":
- Awesome closer to the fall Three Snakes and One Charm world tour. Opener of Gov't Mule just made this show that much better. 11 Covers in the
16 song repertoire, this show will live in Crowes fandom for years to come. - [boa]

Mastering Notes:
- Tape flip during the applause after "Dreams" - seamlessly spliced, no music lost.
- Tape flip durin the "Encore Break" applause - seamlessly spliced.
