Set 3
Comment
All songs written by Steve Earle unless noted.
(a) 18 December
(b) 19 December, early
(c) 19 December, late
This set was compiled from the 6 CD-R set of three shows (one recorded December 18, and two on December 19) at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, CA during Steve Earle's December 1987 solo acoustic tour. These shows were a great glimpse at both where Earle had been and where he was headed; the setlists included some of his earliest songwriting efforts, then-unrecorded songs that would appear on Copperhead Road (and some that would not see released versions until 1995's Train A Comin'), and a number of covers. His manner, as well, is worth noting; his jokes, friendliness, and general ease seem at odds with the incredible turmoil in his life at the time (this was when his woman troubles and heroin addiction were spiraling out of control, and less than two weeks before the Dallas arrest for assaulting a police officer that would haunt him for years)...Though lo-fi audience recordings, these are still far more than merely "listenable" and a great glimpse at an artist at his most raw and pure, captured at an intimate and legendary venue.
