Note:
- Dropout at 1:09-1:11 of t03.
- Tape splices after tracks 4 & 5; track 8 cuts out.
- These 43 minutes come from the only known circulating tape of this 
  show, but I suspect that only the first 22 are actually taken from
  the Sacramento show. At the end of "Slow Change",  John says "Thanks a 
  lot, we're Blues Traveler" as if it's the end of the set. After a brief
  break, he says "We'd love to" as if being asked to take an encore, and
  introduces "Mulling It Over"...which is not played, but would have made
  the band fill a 30-minute opening slot perfectly. 

  There is an obvious splice in the tape, and a drum solo - possibly the 
  end of "Trust In Trust" - then segues into "Dropping Some NYC". Another 
  splice follows, and the crowd afterwards sounds distinctly larger and 
  farther away, as if at an outdoor amphitheater. Warren Haynes is 
  introduced to play on two tunes; while it is possible that he was 
  there, Warren did not begin to sit in with the band regularly until 
  they opened for the Allman Brothers Band in the summer of 1992 (the 
  band also opened for the Allmans during the summers of 1990 and 1991 
  but WarrenBase [http://www.mulebase.com/warren1.html] has no record of 
  Warren guesting with BT on those tours). 

  More likely - though this is by no means certain - the same taper later
  attended a BT/ABB show in the summer of 1992, recorded it, and then 
  distributed the 6-21-90 set with filler from what I guess is this 
  unknown 1992 show. 

  The provenance of the "Dropping Some NYC" is completely unknown, as is
  the Warren guest spot - there is not another known instance of him
  guesting on either of these two songs. Despite all of this conjecture, 
  I am circulating the recording in its spliced entirety. As always, enjoy!
