--Show Notes--
- Definitely some unique and special moments to which the crowd was
very responsive. Perhaps not the tightest performance by the band,
but there is a lot to really dig on with this show/recording.
- Great a cappella "Dream On" Intro on 'Already There' that I don't
think the band has ever done before... very fun!
- Debut of the new Black Crowes cover 'Thorn In My Pride'... smokin!

--Tech Notes--
- Not the most sonically satisfying show we've recorded at the The Dise,
but then it wasn't the same sound guy we've had in the past. No major
complaints, but the SBD signal in general was a little too compressed
and the overall turnout of the master leaves a bit to be desired.
- As noted above where it reads "Official Bleauleg (1)", the '1' simply
indicates that the finishing (ie: mixing & mastering) that went into
making this Bleauleg is of a "1st draft" type quality. Due to the
sheer # of recordings we've done and the demands of the trading world
to get these out there, we simply can't spend an exorbitant amount of
time on each show. Should there be a voiced demand for improvements,
we may opt to release a 2nd revision (and so on) somewhere down the
road. Our Mantra: Nothing is ever final.
