Notes:  This is the 3-shows-in-a-day recording, captured by Jared 
        Reamsbottom in wintertime up in Canada.  Here are the orginal
        source notes he sent, 

             'I recorded both of these on Sharp MiniDisc using 
              a Sony ECM DS70P.  Those two shows make up the 
              first cd.  The second cd is the main Spearhead 
              show that night at the Commodore Ballroom, where 
              Spearhead played as part of the SnoCore Icicle 
              Ball with Blackaliscious, KDTU, and Saul Williams.
              Members of those bands sat in on a few songs of 
              Spearhead's set.  That show was recorded from the 
              soundboard to my Sharp MiniDisc.  All three shows 
              were then recorded directly to CD using a Panasonic 
              stand alone burner.'

        He seeded this to Freaky Tree on 6/24/2002, and it's the only
        recording of these shows known to be in circulation.  Note it's 
        an MD.  The first set is at Virgin Records, an acoustic set.  
        Love Invincible has some great stuff by Radio.  Tory sits in 
        for Dave this day.  Michael and Radio trade freestyle beats in 
        RTN.... pretty smoking for an acoustic set.  I think you could 
        get the sense from Michael that he wanted to really raise it up 
        some more, because he breaks out a classic uptempo Feeling Free, 
        on which Tory shines.

        Set II is also an acoustic set at The Sugar Refinery.  The crowd 
        spontaneously sings along.  It's neat, and you can pick up a lot 
        of their reactions.  The recording levels are identical to Set I 
        and the segue from t15 to t16 is smooth.  Michael and Radio only.

        Set III is an electric show as part of the Sno-Core tour and 
        takes place at The Commodore Ballroom.  It's very good also.
        The guest appearances are a bonus.  You'll be wondering when
        there'll be more sax guest stars.  The freestyle track to end
        the show after Spearhead's set is the highlight of the night.
        Here's what Dan had to say about it on the Freakyandfree setlist,
          'Saul Williams picked up the mic and did a poem. 
           Then Radio beatboxed into a freestyle session 
           with Gift of Gab, Lateef, Wordsayer, Chris, D-shrap 
           and Kevin Choice.  Great stuff.  A++++++'
        And that's about what you'll get from this triple-spear-header.
