Bonus track from Snooks Eaglin's set:
10	Norma's House	7:33

This is an excerpt from the Snooks Eaglin w/PBS show. George Porter, who graciously provided the DAT of this recording, has asked that the Snooks portion remain uncirculated, as Eaglin does not allow taping and frowns (to put it mildly) on trading.

 However, I took the liberty of including one track from Snooks' set, a rendition (by Snooks with PBS) of Brian Stoltz's song, "Norma's House," that is a staple of Stoltz and PBS shows. Midway through Snooks' set, Eaglin says "Come on Stoltz, it's your turn to burn things up." You can listen for yourself to the result.
Note: The right channel was recorded significantly too low and was normalized (by 7 db) to bring it up even with the left channel.

Special thanks to Porter for sharing the music.

Recording notes:
The whole show is a bit hot, but then again, anyone that was there will tell you that it was a LOUD night, right from the get-go.  Good Old Funky Music was loud as hell and that was the second song of the show.  Also, D2T9 contains pretty much nothing but a little bit of crowd noise (it's a SBD) very little banter and a 1:06 gap of silence when the mics were muted on the SBD.  If the idea of sitting through 1:06 of silence bothers you, don't burn D2T9.  You've been warned!

The BAND:
George Porter Jr. - bass, vocals
David Russell "Russ-kell" Batiste Jr. - drums, cymbals, vocals
Brian Stoltz - guitar, vocals, funk cowbell

Note:  This show didn't start until 12:30am, so I guess that means they played on 7/16, but I went with the official tour date.  PBS started after midnight because it was an "after show" meant to follow the Phil Lesh & Friends show at the Fillmore.
