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.

This is an interesting story to say the least. I flew down to New Orleans for Jazz Fest. I deplaned and rented
a car, and drove over to the Maple Leaf to record Outformation. I heard PBS was playing at the Southeastern Music
Hall at about the same time.It was Thursday of Jazz Fest. I set up at the Maple Leaf and hit record. After about 30
minutes, I umped inmy rental and headed to Southport, only a mile away! Never been, so I parked and walked in. As I
walked through the porch, they had a Crawfish Boil going on. Hardly anyoe was eating as they were inside. I grabbed
the soundboard feed and plugged in my trusty D-8, as they were about to start. I hit record and after one song,
my levels were perfect! I ten had some hunger business to take care of on the porch! I had a big table where they
dumped a fresh pot of Crawfish, Sausage, Potatoes, and Corn on the Cobb! I was in HEAVEN! I ate as much as I could for
30 minutes as I listened to some of the funkiest music! Suck the Head, and Squeeze the Tip! My hands were all
spicy and red, as was my face. I was gorged and satisfied. I went back to the Maple Leaf and caught the end of the
Outformation set. I broke down my gear, said goodbye to Sam and the crew, and headed back to Southport and caught the last
30 minutes of PBS! Somewhere in between, I steered Chip Schram to the music. I was staying with Michelle D in Metarie
and had not even checked in yet! I called and asked her if Chip could crash on her couch in the Patio, no sweat.

As for this set, it is wonderful and sounds great. I pulled it off a hard drive after 15 years! I always thought
George was at his funkiest with PBS. Give this a spin and see for yourself!

+ - w/ Fire on The Bayou turnaround/jamming
@ - W/ "Hey Hey Watusi" and more Do Whatcha Wanna vocals

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.
