notes:
disc two had previously circulated by me as 12-8-88. 
kcox sent me the 1990 cass to transfer and I verified that side two was the same show I had circulated as 12-8-88.
the date is indeed 2-19-90 and there was about 45 mins that I didn't know existed.
the dat source sounded a bit better so I used it for disc two.
big thanks to kcox for the cass!

fades added at beginning and end of disc and where noted with WaveLab 5.01b and 4.0

Cowboy Junkies--War Memorial Hall, Guelph, ON, March 14, 1990

Third night of the Caution Horses tour, and a lovely show.  They were already playing songs that wouldn't appear until the next album, including the gorgeous "Five Room Love Story".  It literally brought tears to my eyes that night, and ended up being used a b-side years later--I never understood why it wasn't an album track.  Jeff Bird, the mandolin player, is a native of Guelph, so that's why he get's the biggest cheer of the evening.

Well, I'm finally getting around to digitizing my 700+ cassettes (at my wife's insistence--she wants them out of the house), so I'm going to start posting some goodies here. I taped many a show in the Toronto area from the late '80's to the late '90's, and also recorded a lot of radio broadcasts, mostly from CFNY, 102.1 in Toronto. Hope you stumble across something you like, or even a show you were at!

Cowboy Junkies--Ontario Place Forum, Toronto, July 5, 1990

Another wonderful evening at the Forum with the Junkies.  It was a cool, damp evening, so on top of the usual taping issues in outdoor venues--talkative neighbours, exuberant children--we have the wind to deal with.  It's not constant, but it often crops up and can be quite annoying. If that's the sort of thing that bothers you, I wouldn't recommend downloading this.  Other than that, though, it sounds pretty good.
