$ with The Hour
Dropouts in Johnny B. Goode from 3:33 to 3:40 and again from 3:50-3:54.
Blues Traveler opened for The Hour and played the first six tracks. The Hour played a set, Blues Traveler came back on and played at least the last five tunes. It is likely they played more; Trust In Trust fades in and a three-song set/encore is fairly unlikely. Unfortunately, that's all that was recorded.
Notes from Michael:
Nak 300's>D6C or Marantz PMD 430 (probably the latter), Master (XLII-S), no NR
In late 1988 I was gearing up for my first trip to see the Dead in CA for the New Year's run. I'm liking this whole go to a show, tape it and listen to it back home thing. What to do, what to do...got it, I'll buy a new deck so I can make even better tapes of the dead in Oakland! I'm already spending so much on the trip, it only makes sense. So I upgrade my deck to a Marantz PMD 430. I'm pretty sure 12/15 was the first time I used it.
I got there early. Was all set up and ready to go so I just hung out at the bar with Chan and Matt Turk (the lead guitarist & vocalist for The Hour). I recall they were both rather proud to be drinking beer at the bar which was quite an accomplishment what with being underage and all - oh, the naughty thrills we had back in the day. I was somewhat surprised to learn that Chan was younger than me. I thought he was a little older. It was either at this show or the next that I gave John copies of some of the tapes I had made over the last couple months. It was probably only one or two. He gave me the Let's Travel audio cassette in trade.
