Unless of course you count the extended intro jam to 'One Fine Color'. --Tech Notes-- - Live sound mixed by Jack (house engineer)... thanks for the feed! - 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. - Comments, complaints, suggestions and/or special requests can be sent directly to: "Trader Dan" ********************************************************************* * For a full tour schedule, free music downloads, CD purchases, and * * much more, please check out www.MontbleauBand.com.
