Another gem from my friend's mom's box o' tapes.
This is an excellent Silly Wizard show from the band's Wild and Beautiful tour.
Their late, great fiddler Johnny Cunningham was not on this tour, but the rest of the group is still filled with fire.
The bass is a little hot at the beginning, but its quickly corrected and the rest of the show is very listenable. I split the intros out from the songs, as they are all around 5 minutes long!
Unfortunately its incomplete, missing the encores.
There is also a cut at the end of Phil Cunningham's accordion solo as the tape ran out.
