Notes

File notes: Due to alphabetization and the way these files were named, the Blues Traveler portion of the set appears above the Spin Doctors portion. But the Spin Doctors opened this evening, so for proper listening, they should be first.

* with Chris Whitley on guitar
# with Rich Vink on acoustic guitar
$ with Smokin' Joe Bonamassa on electric guitar
% with Chris Barron on vocals

Spin Doctors portion notes:
- First four tracks are Chris Whitley's opening set. He then began playing "About A Train" and then segued into the Spin Doctors set. These four cuts were not on the archive.org upload since his recordings were not allowed there at the time; with his songs omitted, the Spin Doctors set is evenly divided between discs. Their set ends with a full band jam into Blues Traveler's set. All told, this is a few minutes short of FIVE HOURS of music. The Chris Whitley tracks are now here: https://archive.org/details/cwhitley1991-12-31.flac16

- Various cutouts between 8:15 and 8:45 of d2t03; tape stopped or flipped at 9:33. Tape also stopped/flipped at 6:03 of d2t04.
- Kazoo noisemakers abound in the crowd and can be heard in the background throughout the recording.

Blues Traveler portion notes:
- Disc numbering started again from 1 for Blues Traveler's files.
- Tape flips after Ivory Tusk (6:06 d1t04), Crystal Flame (14:59 d1t09), Sweet Pain (11:20 d2t05) - no music lost. Also a flip at 13:17 of Mountain Cry (d3t01) and skips at 3:52 of d3t02 and 1:20 d3t03 - some music is missing. Tape also stopped before encore intros.
- Pop at 2:38 of d1t08.

Subject: great Crystal Flame

Been looking for this version since I bought a bootleg CD from some shady guy 20 years ago.

just found this website. So happy to hear this again. Popper had an incredible performance throughout.

Subject: Upgrade coming, at some point :)

Just dug out and transferred my cassette SBD masters of this show. Mine also has no cuts in any of the BT songs that have tape flips or other flaws in them here -- though somehow I did manage to completely miss the first tune (About A Train) in the Spin Doctors' set....

The mix on the SBD recording is far from perfect, alas, but it's got a TON of Bobby Sheehan, which is a good thing :)

...also there are no kazoo noisemakers to be found on my recording whatsoever 8)
