Notes: This is a "warts and all" show, but historic in the fact that it's
the earliest known live Conehead Buddha recording.
The recording originated from a VHS video labeled "Kentucky Rainbow Gathering -
May 31, 1993"
I inquired as to whether or not this show really happened in Kentucky, and Pete
Bencini told me that it was actually played in a church in Woodstock NY.
The actual date of the show could be wrong.
It's unknown who actually shot the video.

Notes: This is the only known recording of Conehead playing at The
Creekside Lounge - one of the first places they ever played regularly.
The recording was made on an analog deck by drummer Pete Bencini, with 
help from JoAnn Pallotta. The source tape is a gen 1 from Pete's master.
The recording is not without flaws...another "warts and all" recording.
I cleaned up Set I as best as I could. Set II existed, but was pretty
much unlistenable, so I had to scrap it.

For the record: The setlist for set II was
Niteclub >
Thank You
Swedish Girls >
The Tide Is High > 
Down Under> 
Rudy (A Message To You)
Vinnie
Birds (A Tribute To Plastic Man)
I wanna Be Like You
What They Don't Know

I seeded this and archived it more for historical purposes, than anything
else. It's worth mentioning that the sound quality on recordings improves 
significantly after this point. 
This is simply a part of Conehead Buddha history that I felt shouldn't be
lost forever.
